"Working Out Well!" by Barbara Bush.

The much-loved and much-respected former FLOTUS - now very much seen as the Nation's Matriarch - explores The American Way in this inspirational memoir.

Barbara focuses on her heroic relief work during the unforeseeable disaster of Hurricane Katrina, when her whole family pitched in for the under-privileged people of New Orleans.

For Barbara this episode displays the can-do ethic that made the USA Number One. From lemons come lemon aid. The glass is half-full, even when it's full of hurricane floodwater. Mrs Bush finds good reason for optimism in tough times, as her world-famous title-quote makes clear.

Barbara's theme concludes movingly in her final chapter, which discusses her role as an art patron: encouraging her specially gifted son George to a distinguished second career as an oil painter. Illustrations provided.
