Now I will. My only knowledge of Laura Bush is what I've learned from Oprah and Kitty Kelley (though I thought Kitty's Bush book was the least successful of all her no-holds-barred biographies, maybe because they're just not that interesting?).

Kelley's "biographies" are hilarious but they can't be taken to present a balanced and accurate picture of whoever her latest subject/victim is. This sounds like an interesting book!
