The article discusses a book titled "Are You Prepared for the Storm of Love Making? Letters of Love and Lust from the White House," which compiles letters from American presidents expressing their romantic and passionate feelings. The book reveals that past presidents, such as Warren G. Harding and Woodrow Wilson, were not as reserved as their public image suggested. The authors of the book, Dorothy and Thomas Hoobler, divide the letters into thematic sections and include previously unpublished ones. The article also highlights the unguarded nature of these letters and the regret that modern presidents' private correspondence is unlikely to be available due to the decline of letter writing in the digital era.
