Laura Bush Laura: America’s First Lady, First Mother Antonia Felix Though she was shy and reserved at first, everything changed on September 11, 2001, when the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were crushed by terrorist attacks. In the aftermath, Laura rose to the occasion, providing comfort and reassurance amidst what is perhaps the worst crisis we’ve ever faced---and she has since become a beacon of hope and strength to the nation. 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. In clear, crisp prose, the author tells of Laura’s fascinating journey from her happy childhood in Midland, Texas through her courtship and marriage to dashing National Guard pilot George W., her years as a schoolteacher and librarian, her passion for literacy, and her role as mother to twin girls, Barbara and Jenna. At once probing and revealing, Laura shows why Laura Bush is the right First Lady for these uncertain times---helping Americans laura, first, time, school, texas, lady, mother, husband, high, children, bush, years, reading, support, strong, role, out, life, good, george, education, woman, through, teacher, take, state, speeches, public, political, nation, laura’s, just, important, gender, gave
