Bush Twins’ Wild and Funny Sister Act Comes Alive in New Book

Strung together like their grandmother's signature pearls, Sisters First: Stories from Our Wild and Wonderful Life is a collection of well-rounded tales written by Barbara Pierce Bush and Jenna Bush Hager. The twin daughters of President George W. and former First Lady Laura Bush knot together history's timeline with relatable milestones of life, co-authoring a memoir that honors the bonds of sisterhood and their family's abiding sense of global humanity.  

In Sisters First the thirty-five-year-old granddaughters of President George H.W. Bush and former First Lady Barbara veer away from recounting a jewelry box'ed set of heirloom privileges. Instead, they write of skinned knees, broken hearts, and the perils of pushing Ganny too far. Included in the chronicle is an intimate foreword from their mom, an emoji-trimmed favorite Bible passage from their dad, and loving notes from their grandparents, Ganny and Gampy. The luster of their work is its ability to evoke laughter and tears by sharing pen-pal-style anecdotes of a family. Sisters First is not a dynastic work of history; the twins consider it to be a 236-page love story.
