Summary
The woman who served as counselor to President George W. Bush describes her work in the White House and her headline-making decision to place her family first and leave her position in the nation's capital to return home to Austin, Texas. Simultaneous.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: "The rule of thumb in any White House is that nobody is indispensable except the president," said The New York Times, "but Karen Hughes has come as close to that description as any recent presidential aide." Karen Hughes has worked beside President George W. Bush since, as she says, "the motorcade was only one car and he was sometimes the one driving it." As counselor to the president, she brought the working momâs perspective to the White House, often asking of President Bushâs policies, "What does this mean for the average person?" Yet the move from Texas to Washington was hard on her family, and in a controversial, headline-making decision that reverberated across America, she summoned the courage to say, "Mr. President, I love you, but I need to move my family home to Texas." There, Hughes continues to advise the president, where the kitchen wall calendar marks the State of the Union message side by side with her sonâs orthodontist appointments. Reading Ten Minutes from Normal - the title comes from the campaign trail - one is instantly absorbed in what itâs like to be a "normal" person who goes to work at the White House as a part of the presidentâs inner circle. Told in Karen Hughesâs disarmingly down-to-earth, warm, often funny, and frank voice, the book is a remarkable blend of an ordinary womanâs life, with all its compromises and everyday decisions, and a keenly insightful look at American politics and Americaâs forty-third president. This is a book for the legions of women and men everywhere who are seeking new inspiration for how to reorder their priorities and achieve balance in their lives. Most important, in a post-9/11 world, Hughes redefines the very notion of what is "normal" as something special and precious, never to be taken for granted in America again.
