According to the Author The original book includes the mystique of the glamourous Kennedys, to the tumult that surrounded Bill and Hillary Clinton during the president’s impeachment, to the historic yet polarizing Barack and Michelle Obama, each new administration brings a new and unique set of personalities to the White House—and a new set of challenges to the fiercely loyal and hard-working people who serve them: the White House residence staff.
Kate Anderson Brower also details the compelling stories of the workers themselves in “The Residence”—including storeroom manager Bill Hamilton, who served eleven presidents over fifty-five years; chief housekeeper Christine Limerick, who married a fellow residence worker; Stephen Rochon, who became the first African American chief usher; executive pastry chef Roland Mesnier, who feuded fiercely with executive chef Walter Scheib; and James Ramsey, who made friends with presidents Clinton and George W. Bush and whose spirit animated the White House through six presidencies before his death in 2014.
Working tirelessly to provide impeccable service, earning the trust and undying admiration of each new First Family, these extraordinary White House workers serve every day in the midst of history—and lived to tell the tales.
According to TJB, the drama will feature 8 episodes, 132 rooms. 157 suspects. One dead body. One wildly eccentric detective. One disastrous State Dinner. The Residence is a screwball whodunnit set in the upstairs, downstairs, and backstairs of the White House, among the eclectic staff of the world’s most famous mansion.
