Includes author inscription that reads "For Helen and Peter 'Panarites', Fond regard…s and all best wishes. (To Janna, ' Yod'!) Mollie Dickenson. November 1, 1987" Jim Bear Brady. Recounts the press secretary's White House days, the John Hinckley assassination attempt that left Brady critically wounded, the desperate battle to save his life, and his difficult recovery. From an appreciation by Isabella Morgan found on-line: Mollie Dickenson's biography is not just a chronicle of her life but a testament to her perseverance, her talent, and her influence. Her life was a journey of courage, resilience, and relentless pursuit of her passion. She may not be with us anymore, but her spirit lives on through her work, her words, and her wisdom. She continues to inspire, to influence, and to touch lives, leaving behind a legacy that will endure for years to come. Whether through her personal life, her contributions to media, or her riveting books, Mollie Dickenson will always be remembered as a woman of substance, a woman of words, and a woman of wisdom. "Thumbs Up", one of Mollie Dickenson's best works, was adapted for the screen, bringing her compelling narrative to a wider audience. The screen adaptation was as riveting as the book, capturing the essence of her storytelling and the depth of her characters. The adaptation was well-received by both critics and audiences, garnering acclaim for its faithful representation of the book. The screenplay, the performances, and the direction were all lauded, making the adaptation a successful venture. The screen adaptation of "Thumbs Up" was not just a cinematic rendition of the book; it was a tribute to Mollie's storytelling prowess, her creativity, and her talent. It was a testament to her influence and her enduring legacy. James Scott Brady (August 29, 1940 - August 4, 2014) was an American public official who served as assistant to the U.S. president and the 17th White House Press Secretary, serving under President Ronald Reagan. In 1981, John Hinckley Jr. shot and wounded Brady during Hinckley's attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan, which occurred two months and ten days after Reagan's inauguration. Brady's death in 2014 was eventually ruled a homicide, caused by the gunshot wound he received 33 years earlier on March 30, 1981. Sarah Jane Brady (née Kemp; February 6, 1942 - April 3, 2015) was a prominent advocate for gun control in the United States. Her husband, James Brady, was press secretary to U.S. president Ronald Reagan and was left permanently disabled as a result of an assassination attempt on Reagan. Derived from a Kirkus review: An authorized account of Reagan's former Press Secretary, Jim Brady--his near-murder at the hands of John Hinckley and of his long path to recovery--by Mollie Dickenson. The author had complete access to both Brady and his wife, and the result is a very intimate account of the affable Press Secretary's struggle. The irony that stands out above all is that on the morning of that fateful day in March 1981, Brady repeatedly deferred to his assistant, Larry Speakes, to accompany Reagan to the Washington Hilton. It was only at the last minute that he stuck his head in Speakes' office and said, "I think I'll go on file traveling circus today, after all." Another irony: Brady was most needed even as he was incapacitated, as the author shows by quoting transcripts of the confused reports of the three networks, all of whom within minutes of each other announced Brady's death on the air. But his situation was grave enough. The author takes us behind the scenes as Brady undergoes painful exercises and months of work at the gymnasium until, six years later, still officially the President's Press Secretary, he is able to report to his White House office every Friday. Thanks to flashes o. John Hunt Lerch (Author photograph) and Bill Fitz- (illustrator).
