      abstract = {The first biography of Laura Bush to be written with White  House cooperation offers a look at the private world of  this famously reserved woman, as well as the beliefs and  attitudes that shape it. Based on interviews with her  closest friends and confidantes from childhood to the  present, as well as family members and administration  heavyweights, Kessler paints a portrait of a woman who,  even as she ascended to the heights of political fortune  and power, never lost touch with the bedrock American  values she absorbed in her youth. Kessler reveals how  Laura's opinions have brought budget changes to a range of  federal agencies and have affected her husband's policies,  appointments, and worldview; what Laura's own political  opinions are and what her relationship with twin daughters  Jenna and Barbara is really like; what Laura says in  private about Hillary Clinton, media attacks on her  husband, and his victory in the 2004 election.},
