Tumulty clarifies Nancy Reagan’s influence on her husband in their 52-year marriage, from her belief in astrology to, more significantly, her opinions on White House staff members. Now Washington Post columnist Tumulty not only fact-checks and corrects the former first lady’s story, but also provides a highly readable, definitive history of Nancy Reagan’s impact on her husband’s image and politics, and how the White House worked. In her memoir My Turn (written with William Novak), Nancy Reagan chronicled her rise from Anne Frances Robbins, a child who was raised by relatives, into a Chicago Gold Coast debutante who moved to Hollywood and set her sights on recently divorced actor Ronald Reagan, and then made him a successful president.
