I Love You, Ronnie; The Letters of Ronald Reagan to Nancy Reagan by Nancy Reagan
There is no plot in this love story. This book is a compilation of letters former president Ronald Reagan wrote to his wife Nancy Reagan. Alongside the letters, Nancy chronicles their life together. The book contains pictures of the couple through the years and many of his letters and notes are reprinted in their original format.
Whether or not you agree with his politics, I recommend you read this book for two reasons. First, it is truly a beautiful love story. The love Mr. Reagan felt for his wife is so obvious in his letters. Second, this book will give you an insight into the softer, sillier side of a man who often seemed so straight-laced. This book will make you smile and make you feel warm inside. I read this book several years ago and as I pick it up today and read some of the letters, that huge grin is back and so is that warm feeling.
If you’ve ever wanted to read what true love is like, this is better than any fictional love story that could ever be written.
