Description: The dust jacket reads: Nancy Reagan quote: "Although there is a certain dignity in silence, which I find appealing, I have decided that for me, for our children, and for the historical record, I want to tell my side of the story. So much was said about me-about astrology, and my relationship with Raisa Gorbachev, and whether I got Donald Regan fired, and what went on between me and my children-especially Patti. Ironically, I felt I could start rebuilding our private life only by going public on these and other topics-to have my say and then move on." And so begins "My Turn," the memoirs of one of the most fascinating, controversial, and enigmatic first ladies in American history. As soon as Ronald Reagan took office in 1981, his wife found herself in the spotlight of criticism, particularly over her plans for renovating the White House and for ordering new china. As the stories continued-about her role in her husband's policy decisions, her relationships with Donald Regan and with the Reagan children-Nancy Reagan said very little. Now, at last, in an intimate, moving, and strikingly candid memoir, she tells it as she saw it and lived it. She talks openly about her influence in the Reagan administration, reflects warmly on her lifelong love affair with her husband, and share the darker times as bouts with cancer, family problems, and personal betrayals become fodder for the media. The is the ultimate insider's story, as Nancy Reagan lived it. The book has 384 pages and includes the index with 32 pages of black and white photographs. This is a FIRST EDITION book. The book and jacket ARE in FINE condition.
