Description
'The Matriarch will be read, and worth reading, for a long time to come.' -Wall Street Journal
'Susan Page has given us an insightful and engaging portrait of a remarkable American. Wife to
one President, mother to another, Barbara Bush was fascinating and complicated, and this
absorbing biography brings the woman George H.W. Bush called 'the Silver Fox' to vivid life.' -Jon
Meacham, Pulitzer Prize-winning and #1 New York Times bestselling author of Destiny and
Power: The American Odyssey of George Herbert Walker Bush 'Formidable and fearless, candid
and sharp, Barbara Bush was among the most interesting people of our time. Susan Page's
intimate biography covers both the triumphs and tribulations that made her so fascinating and
beloved.' -Walter Isaacson, Pulitzer Prize finalist and #1 New York Times bestselling author of
Leonardo da Vinci, Steve Jobs, and Einstein 'What a fascinating read! By giving Page access to
her diaries and agreeing to long interviews, Barbara Bush finally reveals the person behind the
pearls. And she turns out to be one of the most interesting and influential women of the twentieth
century.' -Cokie Roberts, New York Times bestselling author of Ladies of Liberty and political
commentator for NPR and ABC News 'Except for Eleanor Roosevelt, first-rate biographies of First
Ladies are rare. Susan Page's volume on Barbara Bush is an impressive exception. It is a
beautifully written and informative study of not only Barbara Bush, but also the presidential
administrations of her husband and son.' -Robert Dallek, Pulitzer Prize finalist and New York Times
bestselling author of An Unfinished Life: John F. Kennedy, 1917-1963 'Barbara Bush was the wife
of one president and the mother of another, but as Susan Page shows, was far more interesting
than that. In the nick of time, Page managed to interview Mrs. Bush at length, gain access to her
diaries, and acquire other information that many earlier authors did not have in order to bring us
this highly readable portrait, which expands our understanding of this strong, decisive woman,
whose influence spanned an era.' -Michael Beschloss, New York Times bestselling author of
Presidents of War 'Highly recommend!' -Gayle King, CBS This Morning '''Insightful, touching,
personal...this exceptionally readable Bush biography [is] unlike any you will read.''' -USA Today
'''The book has lots and lots of new information. Buy the book. You will enjoy it.''' -'Greta Van
Susteren' '''The book offers an unprecedented look at the life of one of America's most influential
