Fascinating Portraits
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I found this book to be fascinating. It provides a close look at First Ladies, something one often doesn't find as historical books tend to focus on the presidents. Not only do you get a review of their lives as First Ladies, but details on their lives before and after their time in the White House. The only distractions are some editing errors and an often clear subjective positive view of the First Lady in question...thus the book is not entirely written from a neutral historical point of view.
if you like to read fact based stories about movie stars

The book Dorothy Dandrige is a very deep and interesting story about a young woman who stugggles all through movie her career. The book is very well written and is real in depth about her life. I think that the author realy did a good job writting this book, althogh i wish he would have go more indepth about her life before she was a movie star. I recommed this book to anyone who knows what it is like to struggle in life and did what it takes to over come the struggle.
