Really captures the changes in America while giving a warm look at the White House staff and changing chief residents. Rereadable and fun.

This is a novel based upon the memoir "My 30 Years Backstairs at the White House" by Lillian Rogers Parks. This was made into a mini-series starring Leslie Uggams.

A look at Washington politics through the eyes of the household staff at the White House from Taft through Eisenhower. A different perspective on American History. Extremely interesting.
