Dear Harry, Love Bess by Clifton Truman Daniel
Your grandparents are your grandparents, even if they've been President and First Lady. This is especially true if your grandparents were Harry and Bess Truman, for whom putting on airs was a cardinal sin. People often ask me what great words of wisdom I learned from my famous grandparents. And I always tell them, Sit up straight, Get your feet off the table, and Not in here, you don't!They were never anyone but themselves, which is essentially what I think made one of them a great president and the other one of the best partners a president has ever had. They were honest and straightforward and concerned themselves most with what was most important family, friends, and the future of the country they both loved.

The discovery of so many of Bess Truman's letters to her husband came as a big surprise. To have them published now, after so many years is just wonderful, adding much to our understanding of the human side of the Truman story, and Clifton Daniel's clear, balanced accompanying text makes this book even more of a welcome event.

What a special treat to see inside Bess and Harry Truman's marital relationship and how it evolved. A wonderful and enlightening addition to any Truman collection!
