In a loving memoir of her late mother-in-law, first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton says she and Virginia Kelley “seemed to be from different planets” when they first met, but the relationship slowly warmed. “It turned out that many of the things I loved about Bill were things I also loved about his mother,” she wrote for Redbook magazine. The piece, published in the July issue, recounts the first awkward encounters between Вill and his mother. Virginia Kelley was just as shocked by Hillary Rodham. Mrs. Kelley recounted in her autobiography “I didn’t know what to think … No makeup. Coke-bottle glasses, Brown hair with no apparent style. Neither of us could Imagine that we had anything in common,” Hilary wrote, “At least for a while, Virginia tolerated me because she assumed I wouldn’t be in the picture very long. In her book, “Leading with My Heart” Mrs. Kelley said she finally reallzed that the tension with Hillary was endangering her relationship with her son. Mrs. Clinton said her change of heart came as she learned more about Mrs. Kelley’s persistence, optimism, and compassion. “Her lesson was that no matter how hard life gets, you get up in the morning, say a prayer, and put a smile on your face.”
