The residence inside the private world of the White House Cover Image CD Audiobook

The residence [sound recording] inside the private world of the White House / by Kate Andersen Brower.

Brower, Kate Andersen, (author.). White, Karen (Karen Elizabeth), (narrator.). Harper Audio (Firm) (Added Author). Blackstone Audio, Inc. (Added Author).

Summary:

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. Full of stories and details by turns dramatic, humorous, and heartwarming, 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 the first family. These dedicated professionals maintain the six-floor mansion's 132 rooms, 35 bathrooms, 28 fireplaces, 3 elevators, and 8 staircases, and prepare everything from hors d'oeuvres for intimate gatherings to meals served at elaborate state dinners. Over the course of the day, they gather in the lower level's basement kitchen to share stories, trade secrets, forge lifelong friendships, and sometimes even fall in love.
