Anthology by Peggy Noonan, WSJ columnist and presidential speech writer, coming in November

NEW YORK, N.Y. – An anthology of writings by Peggy Noonan, the Wall Street Journal columnist and former White House speech writer, is coming out in November.

Noonan’s “The Time of Our Lives” will be released by Twelve, an imprint of Grand Central Publishing that announced the book on Monday. Noonan has written an introduction to “The Time of Our Lives,” which will highlight her work from the past 35 years.

In a statement issued through Twelve, Noonan said the book includes the work that stays with her and has the same effect as when she “was writing it.”

Noonan is known for such speeches as President Ronald Reagan’s address after the Challenger explosion and for coining the expression “a kinder, gentler nation” for George H.W. Bush’s 1988 presidential run.
