LBJ Library Director Mark K. Updegrove interviewed former First Lady Laura Bush to kickoff this year's Texas Book Festival, which Mrs. Bush helped found as First Lady of Texas in 1995. Returning to the festival for the first time as an author, Mrs. Bush spoke to Updegrove about her memoir, Spoken from the Heart. In a remarkably candid conversation, Mrs. Bush shared memories of her upbringing in Midland, meeting her husband, and life in the White House, including the dark days after 9/11, while discussing her post-White House activities with the George W. Bush Presidential Center at Dallas' Southern Methodist University.
