4 cassettes/ 6 hours
Read by Leo Burmester and Allison Daugherty

From the time they met in 1950, through the 1990's, Ronald Reagan wrote letters to his wife, Nancy. In this beautiful book, those extraordinary letters are woven into a moving portrait of a long and loving marriage as Nancy Reagan shares not only the letters but also her reflections on them, and on the life that she and Ronald Reagan shared, from courtship, young marriage, and the White House years on through to her life today.

No matter what else was going on in his life or where he was - traveling to make movies or for G.E., in the California governor's office, at the White House, or on Air Force One, and sometimes even from across the room - Ronald Reagan wrote letters to Nancy Reagan, to express his love, thoughts, and feelings and to stay in touch. Through letters and reflections, the characters, personalities, and private lives of a president and his first lady are revealed.  Nancy Reagan comments on the letters and writes with love and insight about her husband and the many phases of their life together.

The author's proceeds from the book will go to The Alzheimer's Foundation and to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation for the Ronald Reagan Library and Museum in Simi Valley, California.
