I LOVE THIS REVIEW.

I was determined to not only get my book signed, but to speak to the man I so admired even though we were told to keep the line moving. I stood before him and said, "Thank you, Mr. President." He stopped signing. The line stopped. He looked up at me unsmiling. "For what?" I felt like a student challenged by a teacher. How could I compose a succinct message? My reply was quick and simple: "Everything!"
