Out of the Tub
Say the name William Howard Taft, and those who recall him at all will say he was the fat president who got stuck in a tub. But did that even happen?

Find out, too, about the three most influential people in his life: his strict, legal-minded father Alphonso, ambitious wife Nellie, determined to one day be First Lady, and closest friend of all, Theodore Roosevelt, who ultimately mocked and betrayed him.At its heart, Out of the Tub is a story of great love, conflict, sacrifice, and service, a personal, behind-the-scenes look at "Big Bill" whose goodwill, hearty laugh, and good humor endeared him to the public, the many events and choices that shaped his life.
