Recollections of Full Years is a candid, intimate memoir by Mrs.

William Howard Taft that blends personal life with the public arc of her husband’s career. From a childhood in Cincinnati to the White House, it offers warm portraits of family, society, and the responsibilities of national leadership during the early 20th century.

This edition draws on vivid scenes—from festive White House gatherings to the demands of public service—to illuminate how a First Lady shaped, and was shaped by, a pivotal era in American history. It reads as both a family narrative and a window into moments that defined a nation.

• Behind-the-scenes look at social life, hospitality, and etiquette in the White House.
• Family dynamics, motherhood, and the experience of public duty.
• A chronological account of travels, appointments, and the evolution of a presidency.

Ideal for readers who enjoy historical memoirs, presidential-era history, and intimate, character-driven portraits of public life.
