About this book

The wife of President William Howard Taft looked back on a remarkably full public life in this memoir, the first ever published by an American First Lady. She recounts her early years, her marriage to an ambitious young judge, and the couple's time in the Philippines, where Taft served as civil governor and she took an unusually active part in colonial society. The book carries through to their years in the White House, giving a candid insider's view of Washington politics and social life. Helen Herron Taft, who famously championed the planting of Japanese cherry trees along the Potomac, writes with intelligence and a clear sense of her own influence on her husband's career.
