Love and affection leap from each page of this book. It''s the story of a father''s love for his family and a son''s love for his father. Sure, it''s getting read because George H.W. Bush was the 41st President of the USA and George W. Bush was the 43rd President. But most of all, this is a story of how a family molds and supports its members.
There are some interesting political things discussed. And I learned a lot more about 41''s numerous jobs in service to our country even before he was Preside
