Reviews
Steve Ford "A wonderful early life portrait of my dad growing up in West Michigan during the 1920s. All of the colorful stories and more that Dad told around our dinner table are here. No doubt Grand Rapids put its stamp on the future president that helped shape him to have the character to lead and heal our nation during a unique time in its history. This book is a great read." Amity Shlaes -- author of Coolidge "A tale to inspire all would-be presidents, put together with consummate skill and meticulous research. No biographer builds a better picture of young presidents than Hendrik Booraem." Robert H. Ferrell -- University of Indiana "This is a delightful book on the youthful years of Gerald R. Ford, as straightforward as the later president of the United States himself."
