Truth and Honor: The President Ford Story<\/em>
\nby Lindsey McDivitt (Author) and Matt Faulkner (Illustrator)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> When Gerald Ford became president after the turmoil of the early 70s, Americans were ready for an honest, hardworking politician. And that is just what they got with President Ford. He was a man of integrity and honesty, who cared deeply about all Americans. His life, tougher than some and filled with character-building lessons, had prepared him for the job–from his childhood in Grand Rapids, Michigan to his days on the University of Michigan football team and in the Navy to his many years representing the Great Lakes State in Congress. <\/p>\n

Snippet:<\/strong> As a baby in 1913, Junior, as he was called back then, survived stormy times. His mother, Dorothy, escaped her violent husband by clutching her baby close and slipping out the door without even a suitcase. Dorothy fled to Omaha, Nebraska, to her parents, with Junior, then just 16 days old. They all moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan, to start a new life. <\/p>\n
