My wife asked for this book and I ordered it a while ago. True to 's word it arrived the day of it's actual release.The way she made it into a series of many short stories with very high resolution pictures made it a very good read.I was also impressed with her fairness of other views which is far from normal in todays Political books. She has a very uplifting view of life along with respect of where she came from. My wife and I highly recommend this book regardless of which side of the aisle you are on.
Dana's book is a refreshing and fun recounting of a remarkable journey from the ranch to the West Wing. She shares amusing and heartfelt stories from her days at the White House sparring with reporters in the Brady Press Briefing Room and advising the President in the Oval Office. Dana's honest and relatable writing helps readers understand what happened inside the White House during consequential events of the Bush Administration. In addition, her optimism and thoughtful advice for those just getting their start in politics leaves you hopeful that civility and good cheer inside the Beltway is still possible. Washington really needs more people like Dana.
A great lesson in civility and grace despite the pressure Dana felt. I hope that many young people getting started in life will read this book, and heed her ever so gentle advice. Good job Dana Perino.
I LOVE this book! It is warm, refreshing and genuine! I have already recommended to all my friends and young adults. It is SO inspiring. Wish there were more stories like hers but more importantly more people like her. Dana is a class act and the voice of reason!Great Mother's Day gift!
As a fan of The Five, Dana, and all the hosts on the show, Bob and Juan included, I was interested in what Dana would say and the advice she would share. I was not disappointed!Her recollections of her time in The White House. Private moments with Bush 43. Private moments with the wounded. It brought tears to my eyes. I took several moments to read the passage to my wife. We both come from military families you see. 27 family members have served. From our grandparents to a son who is currently serving in the Marine Corps. If only all our leaders cared so graciously.Dana gives sound advice. Not just on how to succeed, network, and treat others. It is sound advice on humility, loyalty, friendships and family. Things that seem more and more of short supply in this modern American.At times humorous, encouraging, poignant, and even sad when you think of how quickly one administration can undo so much progress. As I read this book the last two days I couldn't help but compare our nation today. Not a pleasant reflection.And the Good News Is..... Hope! America is strong because we the people have more like Dana Perino and less like those other guys.Very good read. Thank you for sharing this with us!!
Dana wrote a wonderful book. I envy her energy, honesty and professionalism.Peter is a wonderful support in her life and career.I wish them both all of the very best. Here's hoping that The 5 continues for a very long time and that President Bush 43 will finally receive his well deserved recognition as one of the best.
As a 78 year old guy, husband, father, and person who likes to encourage people, this book is a great read. Not having read other reviews I'll be the first to admit I learned a lot. To say that I would recommend this is an understatement. Be prepared to carve out time when you start reading because you won't want to stop. It's captivating! (Whoops, I used an exclamation point).
Ms. Perino is arguably the best, smartest. most well-respected news personality on TV today. Her comments on Fox's "The Five" are always insightful and on point. Easy to see why she was such an outstanding press secretary during the Bush years. She has had a great career so far and great future potential.
