To the world, George and Barbara Bush were America's president and first lady. To Hager, they were her beloved Gampy and Ganny, who taught her about respect, humility, kindness, and living a life of passion and meaning-- timeless lessons that continue to guide her. In Midland, Texas, her maternal grandparents, Harold and Jenna Welch-- Pa and Grammee-- lived a quieter life, yet their influence was no less indelible to their granddaughter. Now the mother of three young children, Hager pays homage to her grandparents, capturing the joyous and bittersweet nature of life itself, and uplifted by their grandparents' sage advice and incomparable spirits. -- adapted from jacket |
