The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House offers up an intimate account of the service staff of the White House, going all the way back to the Kennedys up to the Obamas.
America’s First Families are unknowable in so many different ways. Nobody’s got insight into their true character quite like the folks that make their beds and serve their meals each and every day. Kate Andersen Brower pulls the curtain back on the world’s most famous address. Filled with details and stories by turns heartwarming, dramatic, and humorous, this reveals the daily life in the White House like it truly is lived through the voices of the butlers, maids, cooks, engineers, florists, doormen, and others that tend to the needs of the First Family and the President.
First Women: The Grace and Power of America’s Modern First Ladies is an intimate and news making look at the true modern power brokers at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue: the First Ladies, from Jackie Kennedy to Michelle Obama.
One of the most underestimated (as well as challenging) positions in the entire world is the First Lady of the United States, as she must be many things: a savvy politician, skilled at navigating the treacherous rapids of Washington; an inspiring leader with a forward thinking agenda of her own; a wife and mom that operates under constant scrutiny; and a capable CEO that is responsible for the smooth operation of special events and countless services at the White House.
Kate draws on a wide array of candid and untapped sources, from social secretaries and residence staff to political advisers and friends, in order to tell the stories about the 10 remarkable women that have defined the role since 1960.
She offers some new insights into this privileged group of remarkable ladies, including Jacqueline Kennedy, Patricia Nixon, Lady Bird Johnson, Rosalynn Carter, Betty Ford, Barbara Bush, Laura Bush, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Reagan, and Michelle Obama.
The tales that she shares range from the shocking and tragic to the heartwarming, exploring everything from the first ladies’ rivalries with Washington figures to their political crusades; from their friendships with other first ladies to their private and public relationships with their husbands.
