She worked as a photojournalist for the Tennessean; Picture This, a collection of her photographs was published in 1996. Her first book, Raising PG Kids in an X-rated Society, was published in 1987.
Together, the Gores have organized an annual two-day forum called "Family Re-Union," now in its eleventh year. They have four children and two grand-children, and live in Nashville, Tennessee.

From AudioFile
The Gores share their views on the changing American family. The couple introduces their own and several other families who represent a range of lifestyles, including single-parent households, blended families, and gay couples. While the former vice president is decidedly more articulate and expressive than Mrs. Gore, she holds her own as the pair alternate the reading of their work. Asserting the view that a family is any group that is "joined at the heart," the Gores discuss the hardships faced in family life and lobby for more corporate and government support of marriage and parenting.
