Summary

From John Adams and Thomas Jefferson through Lyndon Johnson and Bill Clinton, our presidents have taken time out of their public lives to write moving letters to their growing daughters.

Handsome and historic artwork and photographs throughout make it a book of beauty as well as substance.
