Politics, power struggles and hot romance! What a great plot, and the undeniable attraction between Kayla and the Senator makes me anxious to find out what happens next. Kayla seems to be a strong character with depth we haven't seen yet. I think it's going to be a hoot ride!

Leslie Sorrell shares her voice of how she saw many people in Washington, DC turn their focus and attention to personal financial gains. The roles that our politicians may no longer be representing the people's interests but their own. Leslie shares some of her own stories, the struggles and the decision she could no longer live and work in that arena. The costs were just to big to bear. Thank you for sharing some of the truths that we all suspect but didn't no how deep it really goes.

Opens your eyes to the behind the scenes workings of the White House. Confirmed what I always thought.
Both are not to be trusted.

As a Conservative/TeaParty/Constitutionalist this behind-the-scenes truth-telling matches well with what I thought of various Presidents (my first Presidential vote was for Jimmy Carter because I thought he was a farmer, not a bought-and-paid for lawyer/Washington insider. Boy, was I ever sorry!). It was so interesting to find out how the various POTUS , 1st Ladies, and VP's treated the "help". This is the kind of inside information people need to make informed decisions about who to vote for. I am NOT a low information voter! It was especially informative to find out how Hillary treated her those who guarded her life. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to know "What are the Presidents really like?" Could have been 5 times as long and I would have enjoyed it better.

Fascinating look behind the scenes at the White House.  The President's home is so much more than politics.  It's a luxurious mansion reflecting the character of the people living and working there - usually mostly the First Lady.  This book is a warm and personal record that puts politics aside with a focus on what it's like to actually LIVE in the White House.

I love books about the inner workings of the White House and this one doesn't disappoint.  It's not very exciting and there are no personal bombshells here, no secrets revealed, but I enjoy knowing what the menus were for State dinners and what famous guests liked to eat.  Might not be for everyone, but I loved it.

In an easy to read book the author details facts and events that will help you understand the inner working of DC, even if this is not how all our elected officials work, it's still enough to be a pattern and to help you understand how we got her and why DC will not get us out of this mess

Great book, Surprisingly comprehensive guidebook, with items ranging from George Washington to Anwar al-Awlaki. Whether you're a long-time resident of the Washington area or a tourist interested in the area's espionage history, you'll appreciate this easy to use volume full of insider insights.

This video is a slice-of-life work. That is, it starts in the middle and ends in the middle. Nevertheless, it is an attempt to show the interaction and inter-dependency between elected D.C. officials and the mainstream press.

Great behind the scene insights into the running of the People's House.  Well told story about the people who work there.

One of most interesting and revealing books about what our government does behind closed doors. If someone had told me some of that was going on I wudnt have believed it. Story is well documented and not told in a grandiose manner

I highly recommend this book for guests coming to D.C. for the first time especially! It always gets high marks from the recipients and their families. It's also a great baby gift where parents once lived and/or worked in D.C. Beautifully illustrated and full of wonderful facts. I give it five stars -- although my computer won't cooperate and it seems to only be getting two from me!

If you're looking for a book that tells you more about D.C. than what the tourist guides say, this study is definitely the place to start.  The generic title does not do this book justice!  The authors cover a wide range of topics, including facts about the city that non-Washingtonians (like me) probably aren't aware of.  For instance, the government doesn't employ nearly as many people in D.C. as you might think, and the city was not, in fact, designed to prevent riots.  (Though the authors do note that political protests in the city, while very common today, were once seen as dangerous and un-American.)  It's an enlightening study, comprehensive yet not too dense, and surprisingly easy to read.

Very interesting read.  Provides reader a window into the life of Secret Service and how each president viewed them and everyone else in their daily dealings with people.  Some of it was quite surprising.

Great peek into history...funny how there are parallels to the intrigue of political life in Washington, DC.

This most interesting book covers administrations from President Franklin Roosevelt up to the early months of President Nixon, and details the daily activities of the Chief Usher and his staff. This behind the scenes look at an efficient, even though sometimes frantic, work schedule, gives a glimpse of the incredible amount of work done by the staff in an unobtrusive manner to ensure the smooth running of the nation's White House.
