Monday Contest: ‘My Father at 100′

Yesterday would have been the 100th birthday of our 40th president, Ronald Reagan. A touchstone for many, Reagan has had his legacy evoked by people on both sides of today’s fiercely defended party line, but as Ron Reagan says in our interview, “I feel like if anyone has a right to say anything about him, it’s someone like me.”

The president’s younger son sounds off in a frank and fascinating interview with BookPage contributor Stephenie Harrison. If you’d like to win a copy of My Father at 100, leave a comment here telling us what the title of your memoir about your father would be by Friday, February 11. Good luck!
