A New York Times Bestselling Author
The first woman since Abigail Adams to be both the wife and mother of a president, Barbara Bush defied skeptics to become one of the most admired first ladies in history; and she remains a beloved public figure today. This inspiring follow-up to her number-one bestselling memoir covers the momentous eight years between the end of President George H. W. Bush's term in office and President George W. Bush's inauguration.

Barbara Bush was born in Rye, New York, and married George H. W. Bush in 1945. She was First Lady of the United States from 1989 to 1993. She has five children, including President George W. Bush and Florida Governor Jeb Bush, and is the founder of The Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy.
Former First Lady Barbara Bush's diary provides the organizing element around her memoir Reflections, as it did for her 1994 autobiography, Barabara Bush. She writes about things that happen to everyone--well, not exactly everyone, every day--but many of the encounters and emotions will strike a chord with listeners. She does indeed reflect, on family, friends, and world leaders. Mrs. Bush is fascinated by the people she meets around the world, and she connects us to them with human details of friendships and first impressions. The short and often spare diary entries keep the pace moving, giving listeners a you-are-there sense. Her no-nonsense, "let's get to the point" style reinforces her humor and wit.
