"They would be called upon to lead a nation in one of its darkest hours - but were they up to the task? He had been the wild, hard-drinking scion of one of America's premier political families. She was the school librarian with a warm smile and a tragic secret of her own. Yet after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, they rose to the challenge: He became the embodiment of America's fighting spirit and she assumed the role of "First Comforter" with effortless grace. Still, the true nature of their relationship has remained a mystery." "George and Laura is a compelling look at their unique partnership, and the courage, grace, and humor that defines it. It is a wartime saga of triumph and tragedy and, above all, a uniquely American love story."--BOOK JACKET.
