"Carl Anthony opens the door to the world's most famous residence to reveal life as it was actually lived there. He takes readers into the heart of loyalties and estrangements, and the emotional pressures politics brings to bear upon the forty White House families, from their arrivals to their "notices to vacate." Readers will enjoy an unprecedented tour of the previously unseen private rooms as used and decorated by each family. Revealed too are the personal proclivities of the presidents and how their families both sustained them through public crises and were used to political advantage. They'll get a firsthand look at the preparations for White House weddings and other occasions; meet the parents and children of the presidents - as well as an assortment of eccentric relatives - and discover the patterns of working, resting, and relaxing that shaped family life."--BOOK JACKET.
