The compulsively readable, behind-the-scenes memoir that takes readers in the Obama Light House, through the eyes of a young staffer learning the ropes, falling in like and finding her place in the world.

In 2012, Beck Dorey-Stein was simply scraping by in Washington DC when a posting on Craigslist landed her, improbably, in the Oval Workplace as one of Barack Obama’s about In the Corner from the Oval Office: One woman’s accurate tale of her accidental career in the Obama White House stenographers. She joined the elite group who followed the leader wherever he went, recorder and mic in hand. On whirlwind outings across time zones, Beck forged friendships with a tight band of fellow travellers – young men and ladies who, like her, remaining their true lives behind to hop aboard Air Force One operating of the president. But simply because she discovered the ropes of process, Beck became romantically entangled having a colleague, and instantly, the politics became all too personal.

Set against the background of a White House full of glamour, theatre and intrigue, this is actually the story of a young woman making unlikely friendships, getting her center broken, learning what matters and discovering her voice along the way.

‘Who knew the West Wing could be therefore sexy? Beck’s unrivaled access is obvious on every page, along with her knife-sharp humour… Lots of books claim to give real insider glimpses, but that one in fact delivers.’
