"In 80 years of living," Barbara Bush once said, "I have survived 61 years of marriage to a husband who keeps jumping out of perfectly good airplanes. So, it's just possible that along the way I've learned a thing or two." She had indeed, and this collection makes us all privy to the advice that the former First Lady gave to friends and family, heads of state and Supreme Court justices. An endearing portrait of a matriarch from the Greatest Generation, this book is filled with irrefutable wisdom about kindness, humility, family, keeping a sense of humor, and growing older with grace.
