About This Book
From New York Times bestselling celebrity biographer J. Randy Taraborrelli comes Grace & Steel, the epic, hidden history of the exceptional women behind the greatest political dynasty of all time―the Bush family. Bestselling author J. Randy Taraborrelli reveals the unsung heroines of the inimitable Bush family dynasty: not only First Ladies Barbara and Laura, but other colorful women whose stories have been left out of history for far too long, including Barbara's mother-in-law, the formidable Dorothy Bush; the enigmatic Columba and the controversial Sharon; and Laura's twins, Jenna and Barbara. No matter the challenges related to power and politics, the women of the Bush dynasty always fought for equality in their marriages as they raised their children to be true to American values. In doing so, they inspired everyday Americans to do the same. Or, as Barbara Bush put it, "The future of this nation does not depend on what happens in the White House, but what happens in your house."
Reviews
"Taraborrelli gives the Bushes the royal treatment."
"But though this book is chock full of interviews, archival research and gossipy material about the Bush women, there's little indication of how, or even if, their time in Washington and the monumental events they witnessed shifted their outlook on the world and on the nation they served."
"Still, this is a unique and colorful look at one of America's most powerful political families."
"Similar to Taraborrelli's other books, this is a gossipy read for those who enjoy biography."
