Summary: book reviews shouldn't be about polical view bashing
Comment: Karen Hughes is an advisor and personal friend of the President. This book presents a postive view of the president and the White House policies and processes. Duh.
But that is not primarily what this book is about. This book is presents a relatively "normal" professional working mom who finds herself in an important role in the innermost circles of the Presidential Power. She describes what that experience is like, and most importantly the conflict between that appeal to the intensity and importance of that power and her role as a mother and spouse.
The book provides some limited insight (almost certainly the negative filtered away) of decision processes of the President, gives some insights into how Political PR (should) work, and confirmation that a number of the President's close advisor's draw heavily upon their Christian faith.
The book gives some insights into the current President. He is has tremendous discipline, he apparently is always on time or early...for those of you who interact with executives who run businesses and/or organizations know how rare this is--as the imporance of issues that CEO's deal with often mean subordinates learn to wait. He is either "simple-minded" lacking in-depth understanding or cuts immediately to the core of the issue, depending on your view. He does tend to see decisions as right and wrong (it's not just Karl Rove pandering to the hard-core right).
But again, those insights are sidebars to main theme of the book--a mom wrestlhing with the consuming requirements of very intense work environment versus desire to invest in one's family.
The book is am enjoyable read and a thought provoking book for those of us with consuming worklife and a family. On the other hand, if you're the kind of person who would write a review trashing a book that you haven't read because you don't like the politics should probably skip this one-you won't be able to get past the politics to engage with the book.

Summary: Couldn't put it down. What a strong woman
Comment: I took this book on vacation with me and couldn't put it down. This book really spoke to me. She gave up the ultimate career for family. I think that was very brave. She also put the President in a very Human light. I feel like Karen is a real person with real problems and prespectives. There is a truth telling in this book about our President that has been rare lately.
Great Job Karen

Summary: Compelling--I couldn't put it down!! Thank you, Karen.
Comment: I am not a big book reader, however, seeing Karen Hughes interviewed on the talk shows and then the subtitle of her book about "the woman who left Washington to be with her family," caught my heart. Karen, thank you so much for writing this book. The average person has no idea of the sacrifice of those who serve our country, and you painted a vivid picture for us. Let us not take you for granted. As a Christian, I loved the first chapters and seeing how God wired you the way He did--to be a woman for such a time as this. I applaud your courage, your dedication to your country and president, and your incredible boldness to speak the truth in love, no matter what the consequences. I hope many people will read your book before the next presidential election in order to see the depth of character of our beloved president, George W. Bush. What an incredible leader he is for our country and how wrongly judged he is so frequently by the press and the liberals. He is an exemplary leader, I belive one of the greatest presidents of all time. I haven't been able to put down your book. It is absolutely compelling. Thank you for all that you have done for our country and thank you for giving us a behind-the-scenes view of what really happens in Washington.
