Mary Cheney, who served as a top campaign aide to her father, Vice President Dick Cheney, presents a behind-the-scenes look at presidential politics and talks for the first time about her life, her family and her role in the campaigns of 2000 and 2004. As a senior adviser she was at the conventions, the debates and on the trail, and she writes about being at the center of her father’s campaigns as his daughter, as a member of the senior staff and, though she never intended it, as a political target for the other side. She describes her close relationship with her parents, being pursued by the press, and what it was like when John Edwards and John Kerry raised her sexual orientation in live televised debates.
