I’m completely non-partisan when it comes to my book reading. With the light, self-deprecating charm of the bestselling Sisters First-cowritten with her twin sister, Barbara-Jenna reveals how they navigated this difficult period with grace, faith, and nostalgic humor, uplifted by their grandparents’ sage advice and incomparable spirits.”Ī few weeks ago I reviewed Sisters First: Stories From Our Wild and Wonderful Life written by Jenna Bush Hager and her fraternal twin sister, Barbara Pierce Bush ( you can read my review of that book here). Jenna reflects on the single year in which she and her family lost Barbara and George H. Filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable stories, Everything Beautiful in Its Time captures the joyous and bittersweet nature of life itself. Now the mother of three young children, Jenna pays homage to her grandparents in this collection of heartwarming, intimate personal essays. Throughout Jenna’s childhood and adolescence, the Welches taught her the name of every star in the sky, the way a dove uses her voice-teaching her to appreciate the beauty in the smallest things. Yet their influence was no less indelible to their granddaughter. In Midland, Texas, Jenna’s maternal grandparents, Harold and Jenna Welch-Pa and Grammee-a home builder and homemaker, lived a quieter life outside the national spotlight.
