Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
America's First Families are unknowable in many ways. No one has insight into their true character like the people who serve their meals and make their beds every day. The Residence reveals daily life in the White House as it is really lived through the voices of the maids, butlers, cooks, florists, doormen, engineers, and others who tend to the needs of the President and First Family.
"An intimate account of the service staff of the White House, from the Kennedys to the Obamas"-- Provided by publisher.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 417-446).
Controlled chaos -- Discretion -- Devotion -- Extraordinary demands -- Dark days -- Sacrifice -- Race and the residence -- Backstairs gossip and mischief -- Growing up in the White House -- Heartbreak and hope.
