I was just at Value Village and picked up a copy of the book "GRACIE, A Love Story" by George Burns.

I finished reading this book last night. It was obvious from reading this book how very deeply George Burns loved Gracie. I had a very hard time keeping a dry eye while reading this book. I was either moved to tears by the relationship I was reading about and the depth of love it was being talked about with or was laughing at Mr. Burns jokes so hard I was crying. This book was also a great history lesson about show business as George chronicles his and Gracie's journey through vaudeville, radio, the movies, and finally television. This book was a great read!
