(Hager, Jenna Bush) Today, Jenna Bush Hager is a correspondent on NBC’s Today show, a contributor to NBC Nightly News and an editor-at-large for Southern Living magazine. She is also the author of the New York Times bestseller Ana’s Story: A Journey of Hope, which she wrote after traveling to Latin America in 2006 as an intern with UNICEF. She is also coauthor with her mother Laura Bush of the children’s books Our Great Big Backyard and Read All About It! Born into a political dynasty, Jenna and her sister Barbara grew up very much in the public eye. As small children, they watched their grandfather become president; just twelve years later they stood by their father’s side when he took the same oath. They spent their college years being trailed by the Secret Service and chased by the paparazzi. But the tabloids didn’t tell the whole story. In Sisters First: Stories from Our Wild and Wonderful Life (Grand Central Publishing) the sisters recount how they forged their own identities under extraordinary circumstances, as 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.
