Anyone fascinated by presidential history, libraries, and teachers, whether Republican or Democrat, is bound to be interested by the fact that former First Lady Laura Bush was once a teacher and a school librarian. She describes her experiences in her classroom, in the libraries where she worked, and the annual National Book Festival she inaugurated in her 2011 autobiography, Spoken from the Heart.

The book covers the other details of her life you would expect to find in an autobiography: her childhood and education, how she met and married former President George W. Bush, her difficulty conceiving and the eventual birth of her twins, her husband’s gubernatorial and presidential elections, and her role as First Lady.

If you want to get to know Laura Bush better, be sure to read this book. You can find Spoken from the Heart on amazon.com.
