She added that both her mother and father, former PresidentGeorge W. Bush, frequently read to her and her twin sisterBarbara Pierce Bushwhen they were children.
“Most often, my parents would read to us in their bed. The four of us would all be in there together while my mom and dad took turns reading out loud. That gave us such a cozy, secure feeling,” Bush Hager said, later noting that she also got her love of mystery novels from her dad.
