Peggy's book reminds us of Ronald Reagan the man as well as his presidency, surely one of the most consequential of the twentieth century. She shares the day-to-day workings of his post-presidency office and the joy of working for such an amiable, warm, and humble man, who championed American values and principles. She also shares the heartbreaking moment toward the end of his life when he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, and the touching note he wrote to the public in which he said, 'When the Lord calls me home, whenever that may be, I will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours and eternal optimism for its future.'

Bush and bestselling author of And the Good News Is... and Let Me Tell You about Jasper... Don't miss this shining book on a hill.

I cannot recommend this book enough.-- Jon Gordon, bestselling author of The Energy Bus Throughout our country's history, our leaders and icons have been brought to life by those who knew them best.

This is a fascinating journey inside a private world.-- Sally Hogshead, New York Times bestselling author of Fascinate and How the World Sees You Peggy's book is beautifully written, and it is far more than just an intimate picture of a wonderful man. Her attention to detail is like a personal visit with the man himself. As I read through the book, often lingering on meaningful paragraphs, I felt I was reliving my long friendship with President Reagan-and that I had been given a time-capsule chance to experience his warmth and kindness again. The President Will See You Now is a wonderful book that I will savor again and again.-- Pat Boone
