Launched in 2005 in celebration of Barbara Bush's 80th
birthday, the One Book,
One NFRW project encourages NFRW members across the country to read
and discuss the same book. 2005
|
In honor
of her 80th birthday, Barbara Bush was asked to choose a book for
this program. Her selection was "Prince of Fire," by Daniel Silva
(Putnam, 2005). The NFRW Literacy Committee kicked off the project
with members and clubs sending birthday greetings to Mrs. Bush and
thanking her for selecting the book for us. Republican women enjoyed
the book in many ways. Several clubs hosted regular book
discussions, and one club in New Mexico taped a discussion of "Prince
of Fire" for their local cable television station. |

In
2007, the book selection was "My Father, My
President: A Personal Account of the Life of George H.W. Bush,"
by Doro Bush Koch (Warner Books, 2006). |
