As two sisters watch their friends' families grow, they wish on a
star for a sibling of their own...and a younger brother and a baby
cousin arrive! The new family members aren't exactly what the
sisters expected, but with time and patience, the group soon
becomes fabulously four-and lets their imaginations soar! Together
they can be anything, and no matter what, they will always remember
that love comes first. Inspired by Jenna and Barbara's own
families, this companion title to the #1 New York Times bestseller
Sisters First is a tender story about the way our hearts can always
make room for more.
Jenna Bush Hager, the former first daughter and granddaughter, #1
New York Times bestselling author, and coanchor of the Today show,
shares moving, funny stories about her beloved grandparents and the
wisdom they passed on that has shaped her life. To the world,
George and Barbara Bush were America's powerful president and
influ-ential first lady. To Jenna Bush Hager, they were her beloved
Gampy and Ganny, who taught her about respect, humility, kindness,
and living a life of passion and meaning--timeless lessons that
continue to guide her. In Midland, Texas, Jenna's maternal
grandparents, Harold and Jenna Welch--Pa and Grammee--a home
builder and homemaker, lived a quieter life outside the national
spotlight. Yet their influence was no less indelible to their
granddaughter. Throughout Jenna's childhood and adolescence, the
Welches taught her the name of every star in the sky, the way a
dove uses her voice--teaching her to appreciate the beauty in the
smallest things. Now the mother of three young children, Jenna pays
homage to her grandparents in this collection of heartwarming,
intimate personal essays. Filled with love, laughter, and
unforgettable stories, Everything Beautiful in Its Time captures
the joyous and bittersweet nature of life itself. Jenna reflects on
the single year in which she and her family lost Barbara and George
H. W. Bush, and Jenna Welch. With the light, self-deprecating charm
of the bestselling Sisters First--cowritten with her twin sister,
Barbara--Jenna reveals how they navigated this difficult period
with grace, faith, and nostalgic humor, uplifted by their
grandparents' sage advice and incomparable spirits. In this moving
book, Jenna remembers the past, cherishes the present, and prepares
for the future--providing a wealth of anecdotes and lessons for her
own children and all of us. Poignant and humorous, intimate and
sincere, Everything Beautiful in Its Time is a warm and wonderful
celebration of the enduring power of family and an exploration of
the things that truly matter most. "As long as I'm alive, my
grandparents will not be forgotten. . . . I hear their voices in
the letters they sent me and in my memories. They offer comfort,
support, and guidance, and I will listen to them always."

A lovely, lyrical ode to the magic of sisterhood by beloved former
first daughters and bestselling authors Jenna Bush Hager and
Barbara Pierce Bush. A young girl's wish is granted when a new
sister arrives. While the baby can't do much, over time the big and
little siblings become inseparable, playing and dancing, imagining
and laughing. By each other's sides, they are smarter, kinder, and
braver than they ever thought they could be. And they are forever
sisters first. This exquisite celebration of the bond between
sisters is inspired by the spirited childhood of Jenna Bush Hager
and Barbara Pierce Bush, authors of the #1 New York Times
bestseller Sisters First: Stories from Our Wild and Wonderful Life.
Ana's Story: A Journey of Hope is a work of narrative nonfiction
based on Jenna's experiences while interning for UNICEF and
documenting lives of children and teens she encountered through her
work. The book focuses on Ana, a teenage single mother who is
bravely living with, rather than dying from, HIV. Ana's
determination has allowed her to overcome abuse and abandonment and
fight for an education and a better future for her child. Inspired
by the framework of one girl's life, it is also the story of many
children around the world who are marginalized and excluded from
basic care, support, and education. Jenna Bush sends a message of
hope, inclusion and survival, and calls for youth involvement in
helping other young people triumph over adversity.
The book features approximately 45 photographs taken by Mia
Baxter, Jenna's friend and fellow UNICEF intern, as well as
detailed backmatter including A Letter from Jenna Bush; You Can
Make A Difference; Protect Yourself, Protect Others; What's the
Real Deal? Ten Myths About HIV/AIDS; Do You Know the Whole Story?
Ten Myths About Abuse; and Discussion Questions.

paparazzi, with every teenage mistake making national headlines.
But the tabloids didn't tell the whole story of these two young
women forging their own identities under extraordinary
circumstances. In this book they take readers on a revealing,
thoughtful, and deeply personal tour behind the scenes of their
lives, with never-before-told stories about their family, their
adventures, their loves and losses, and the special sisterly bond
that fulfills them
