AND THE GOOD NEW IS is an antidote to despair about politics. Its a proposal forand witness tosomething better, from someone who has learned along the way and in her gratitude wants to share and help others. Whether shes discussing the presidential-primary trail, Twitter, or marriage, she shares the joys and practical benefits of actual human encounter: prioritizing, humility, and encouragement.

Kathryn Lopez, National Review

Part autobiography, part memoir of a press secretary in the White House, part career and life guidance, and part appeal to civility, Dana Perinos AND THE GOOD NEWS IS is all parts captivating.

Donna Brazile

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

Congrats to Dana Perino! Its a great read. Little House on the Prairie meets West Wing.

Chris Stirewalt, Digital Politics Editor, Fox News

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

The book is a study in character, and why surrounding ones self with people of good character (from Danas 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

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 theres a rarity.

Marlin Fitzwater, former White House Press Secretary
to Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush

This book is a gemmodest and moving, clear and unpretentious. It gives the kind of practical and even ethical advice everyone starting out needs, but its also funny and full of great stories. Dana is a true role model.

Peggy Noonan

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

To my Bush Administration colleagues

The Black Eye of Baghdad

I knew the job of a White House press secretary would be hectic and demanding, but I never expected Id come to physical harm. Id almost finished the job without a scratch when a top-secret trip to Baghdad, six weeks before President George W. Bush left office, changed all of that.

It was December 2008, and a very small team at the White House was assigned to work on a covert trip to Iraq and Afghanistan. It would be the Presidents last overseas trip on Air Force One, and we had to be extra careful to keep it all under wraps because the press was already nosing around. Reporters that covered the President suspected that hed want to see the troops one last time. They knew his style.

I was in charge of the press part of the trip, and I worked with Gordon Johndroe, my deputy press secretary for national security, to figure out our piece of the puzzle. Thankfully, Gordon has a good poker face. It was awkward to tell white lies to our colleagues about our weekend plans, and we had to sneak out to get coffee so we could talk without being overheard. I didnt like keeping secrets from my team, but I understood why we had to.

We put together a group of reporters, photographers, and a camera crew to make up the press pool. Only the editor and the journalist of each organization could know about the trip. And in turn, the reporter could only tell one family member (also sworn to secrecy). Just one leak and the trip would be canceled.

I was under the same rulesonly my husband, Peter, was aware of where I was going. He was concernednot about the flight, as theres no safer plane than Air Force Onebut about potential hostile action on the ground. He knew that once we landed, the enemy might try to take a shot at disrupting our plans or even harming the President. And we had another problem. That weekend, Peter was to be the best man at a friends wedding at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. Hed have to make up an excuse for me. He ended up apologizing for my absence by saying that I had to work, which was true but a lame excuse for missing a wedding.

As the sun was setting in Washington on December 13, the handful of us going on the trip were picked up from our homes in unmarked cars and driven to Andrews Air Force Base. There we waited for the President and National Security Advisor, Steve Hadley, to fly in from Camp David. The President was wearing a black baseball cap that said 43 and a tan canvas jacket. At the bottom of the ladder to the plane, he paused and, grinning, said, Whos ready? Lets go! before bounding up the steps.

As soon as we got on board, I made a beeline for the conference room near the front of the plane and set down my bag. That room has a large oval table with big swivel chairs all around it, and a video screen for secure teleconferences or watching TV. Most of the senior staff liked to sit in there to work, have a chat, and sometimes play cards. Along the side of the room is a comfortable bench that curves around in a semicircle shape under the video screen. Since there werent beds for all of us to lie down on, I staked out that spot because I was the smallest person on the staff and could fit there comfortably. We settled in for the thirteen-hour flight.
