Travels to impoverished areas in Africa and Latin America impressed upon her the call to address the most pressing health, education and economic inequality issues of our time. To all who listen, Hager ignites a passion to serve and inspires young leaders to give back in their schools, local communities or abroad.

In her latest New York Times best-selling book, Everything Beautiful in Its Time, Hager shares moving, funny stories about her beloved grandparents and the wisdom they passed on that has shaped her life. With genuine appeal and heart felt warmth, Hager brings to light stories of hope, humor and humanity.

Currently Hager is the chair of UNICEF’s Next Generation, an initiative dedicated to reducing the number of preventable childhood deaths around the world. She has traveled throughout Latin America and the Caribbean with UNICEF where she saw firsthand the plight faced by the underprivileged.

Hager is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Sisters First written with her sister Barbara Pierce Bush.
