An Uncommon Friend - The Authorized Biography of Ruth Bell Graham (Hardcover)

A deeply personal story told as only a devoted personal friend could do.

In 1963, at the age of seven, today's superstar mystery writer, Patricia Cornwell, moved from Miami to Montreat and soon met Ruth Bell Graham. A close friendship began which still continues.

By 1983, aspiring young author Patricia had the privilege of writing Ruth's authorized biography, with incredibly detailed and honest help from Ruth -- now updated to help those who have never met this amazing woman and her famous husband.

Here is the inside, deeply personal story of Ruth's spirited childhood in China, the turbulent yet tender personal account of her courtship with Bill Graham, raising children, becoming a friend to the world, and yet remaining unawed by fame.

What emerges is a loving portrait of a remarkable woman, deep in faith, warm, humorous, intelligent, and honest. By the time the last page is turned, Ruth Bell Graham has become the reader's uncommon friend, known and trusted as Patricia Cornwell has for thirty-three years.
