- Synopsis
- "Although there is a certain dignity in silence, which I find appealing, I have decided that for me, for our children, and for the historical record, I want to tell my side of the story. So much was said about me--about astrology, and my relationship with Raisa Gorbachev, and whether I got Donald Regan fired, and what went on between me and my children -- especially Patti. Ironically, I felt I could start rebuilding our private life only by going public on these and other topics -- to have my say and then move on." And so begins My Turn, the memoirs of one of the most fascinating, controversial, and enigmatic first ladies in American history. As soon as Ronald Reagan took office in 1981, his wife found herself in the spotlight of criticism, particularly over her plans for renovating the White House and for ordering new china. As the stories continued -- about her role in her husband's policy decisions, her relationships with Donald Regan and with the Reagan children -- Nancy Reagan said very little. Now, at last, in an intimate, moving, and strikingly candid memoir, she tells it as she saw it and lived it.
