Summary:
Who is Mary Cheney?In the most eagerly awaited political memoir of
the season, Mary Cheney, who served as a top campaign aide to her
father, the vice president, presents a behind-the-scenes look at the
high-intensity world of presidential politics and talks for the first
time about her life, her family, and her role in the campaigns of
2000 and 2004.As a senior adviser to her father, she was in the
middle of every major event of the 2000 and 2004 presidential
contests -- at the conventions, the debates, and on the trail. Both
elections made history -- and so did Mary. And for the first time
ever, she writes about what it was like to be at the center of her
father's campaigns as his daughter, as a member of the senior staff,
and, though she never intended it, as a political target for the
other side.Mary, her experiences, and her opinions, have been the
subject of intense debate in the media and from activists on both
ends of the political spectrum, but she has never spoken publicly
about herself, her life, or her political views -- until now.In Now
It's My Turn, a frank, funny, and down-to-earth memoir, Mary Cheney
describes life inside the bubble of a national campaign. She talks
about her close relationship with her parents, how it feels to be
pursued by the press, and what it was like when John Edwards and John
Kerry made her sexual orientation an issue in live debates televised
to millions of Americans. As she describes it, life inside a
presidential campaign can be uplifting, frustrating, and
heartbreaking, but no matter what else it may be, it's always
entertaining.
