"To most of the country, I'm known, besides for being Bill (Clinton) & Roger's mother, for my weird hair, my heavy makeup, my loud colors, & my penchant for playing the horses. I'm a character, a cut-up, a kook. That's me, all right, but it's not all of me. When I sat down to write this book, I decided it was time to take off the makeup. Time to let people see beneath the surface. Time to stop coloring all streaks, no matter how gray. Even though I'm far from perfect, I'm proud of the life I've led. And, as a betting woman, I bet you my hat you'll find it colorful enough without the rouge." Photos.
