Why read it?
1 author picked Pat Nixon as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Julie not only loved her mother; she respected her. Both the love and the respect are apparent throughout. If there were times, I sometimes shook my head in disbelief over Julie’s sometimes naivete, I forgave her in gratitude for the insights into her mother’s life.
From Mary's list on why Pat Nixon was known (incorrectly) as Plastic Pat.
