And the Good News Is...: Lessons and Advice from the Bright Side - Softcover

"AND THE GOOD NEW IS...is an antidote to despair about politics. It's a proposal for-and witness to-something better, from someone who has learned along the way and in her gratitude wants to share and help others...Whether she's discussing the presidential-primary trail, twitter, or marriage, she shares the joys and practical benefits of actual human encounter: prioritizing, humility, and encouragement." ""National Review""" "If you want to be inspired by a successful woman who goes from ranching in the West, to the White House, to helping in Africa, to a fine marriage and a loving dog, you will find it in this book. You will also find the kind of honest advice about life, politics and the Presidency that makes you feel good. Now there's a rarity."--Marlin Fitzwater, former White House Press Secretary to Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush "The book is a study in character, and why surrounding one's self with people of good character (from Dana's husband, parents and grandparents to Tony Snow and George W. Bush) leads to a life well lived."--Doug Brunt, author of The Means and Ghosts of Manhattan "This book is perfect for anyone interested in politics, media or simply advice about taking courageous chances in life, love and work. Dana has written a book that is as accessible for those who are just starting out on their career path as for those who are long-time students of current events and history."--Julie Roginsky, Fox News Contributor "Congrats to Dana Perino! It's a great read, BTW. Little House on the Prairie meets West Wing."--Chris Stirewalt, Digital Politics Editor Fox News "With this delightful blend of the political, personal, and professional, Dana Perino gives us a useful glimpse into one of the most remarkable workplaces in the world, the White House. Political junkies will revel in her insider tales but every reader will come away knowing more about the human dimension of working in the most powerful place on the planet."--Mike McCurry, former White House Press Secretary to President Bill Clinton "Part autobiography, part memoir of a press secretary in the White House, part career and life guidance, and part appeal to civility, Dana Perino's AND THE GOOD NEWS IS... is all parts captivating."--Donna Brazile "A lovely memoir, both charming and wise, studded with invaluable life lessons garnered on her fascinating journey to the highest levels of media and government. A wonderful read."--Charles Krauthammer "This book is a gem--modest and moving, clear and unpretentious. It gives the kind of practical and even ethical advice everyone starting out needs, but it's also funny and full of great stories. Dana is a true role model."--Peggy Noonan
