To Americans, Ronald Reagan was a president and a national
icon, a man many revered for restoring our faith in ourselves and
our country.To Patti Davis, he was a father, the man who taught
her to ride a bicycle and who gave her hand away in marriage. In
The Long Goodbye, she describes losing her father by saying,
"Alzheimer's snips away at the threads, a slow unraveling, a
steady retreat; as a witness all you can do is watch, cry, and
whisper a soft stream of goodbyes."
Patti Davis delves into her memories to touch her father
again, to hear his voice, to keep alive the years she had with
him. In so doing, she provides us with an intimate glimpse into
an extraordinary American family--and the courage it takes to
heal old wounds, to bring together a splintered family.
