Graceful yet strong, Nancy Reagan felt it was her mission to restore a sense of grandeur, mystique, and excitement to the presidency, and here her friend and press secretary Sheila Tate showcases the various roles that Mrs. Reagan played during her 8 years in the White House: Wife, Mother, Protector, Host, Diplomat, and Advisor. Illustrated with 24 pages of color photographs—including a selection of Nancy's own favorites—this book is bolstered by reminiscences by those knew the First Lady best: George H.W. Bush, Chris Wallace, James Baker, Ed Meese, Maureen Dowd, and Marlin Fitzwater.
