Kate Andersen Brower

inside America's most famous home

"Have you ever wondered what exactly goes on inside 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? Sure, the president of the United States works and resides there, but do you know who helps keep this historic house running? It's not an easy task, especially when there are important state events and foreign dignitaries-in addition to presidential pup, mischievous children, and even a ghost or two. No one knows the amount of hard work required better than the nation's first ladies, who play an important role inside the White House, and the Residence staff who work there."--book jacket
