Description
Summary:Here, Davis shares how she remembers her mother, former First Lady Nancy Reagan. Among other things, she remembers how she and her father used to walk along the paths of the garden in the afternoons--both of them older, their steps slow and cautious, his occasional questions splintery with Alzheimer's, her answers patient and soft. She stopped walking in the garden after his death; she didn't need to ask why. She remember her weeping on her shoulder a week before he died and saying that nothing will ever be the same without him. And the way she broke down when they had to leave his coffin after flying with it back and forth across the country, through several days of services.
