Críticas
This book by Barbara Bush is a recounting of the graduation address she gave at Wellesley College in 1990. It is pure Barbara Bush in many ways. Simple, direct, and impactful her advice for a wonderful life based on more than just professional achievement. Possibly snickered at by some from other political leanings the book has a lot teach most everyone. And like Barbara Bush herself, memorable.
