I Love You, Ronnie

from the fletcher hills library sale
I never was a Reagan fan until he came down with Alzheimers, Nancy truly stepped up to the plate during this horrific time. I thought my heart would break when she was standing at the coffin.
After reading this book, I have a whole new image of the Pres. and his lovely wife. How wonderful it must have been for Nancy to be so loved and how heartbreaking to lose her sole mate. This was a truly inspiring book.

What love! What devotion! Truly sweet and sincere ..., September 13, 2000

(REAL NAME)
Sweet and sincere best describe this lovely collection of love letters from Ronald Reagan to Nancy Reagan. The media seemed to show that Nancy Reagan was a control freak and overbearing during The White House years, this book tells another story. The story is of a man and a woman deeply in love and totally committed to one another. What impressed me most was the sweetness and the vulnerability of this once very powerful man.
Many of the letters have been scanned from the original copies so you get a real taste of the time and the personality of Ronald Reagan. The letterhead is often from various places and penned in his own handwriting. These letters show his most private and personal feelings of loving his wife and just how much she meant to him. You also get some insight into his sense of humor and in his ability to love and express love. I was charmed by the feeling that he never took his position(s) in government life so seriously that he lost his true core and his true heart.
At first I was a bit shocked that Nancy Reagan would share something so personal because that was not the impression I once had of her. I also wondered what was in it for her? Fame, she has, fortune? But I later learned the proceeds from this book will benefit the Alzeimers Foundation. Whatever her motivation this is a wonderful surprise of a book and a great way for her to share some really neat things about one of our ex-presidents.
