America has never had a First Lady quite like Laura Bush. A devoted wife and mother who hailed from the windswept Texas plains, she reluctantly entered the nation's spotlight when her husband, George W. Bush, became the 43rd president of the United States. Laura, by noted biographer Antonia Felix, is the first profile of this remarkable woman. The author has conducted dozens of interviews -- including with Jenna Welch, Laura's mother -- and has produced an insightful, compelling work that finally informs us of the major events in Laura Bush's life, bringing us closer to discovering what she is really like. - Jacket flap.
