The: Chief

by Jennifer Ray

When Mark Meadows took control of the Trump White House in March of 2020, the nation was in turmoil. A deadly coronavirus had arrived from Wuhan, China, and brought the rhythm of daily life under President Trump—defined by a soaring stock market, sinking unemployment rates, and a renewed sense of pride in being an American—to a grinding halt. Our streets were empty. Our hospitals were full. Millions of Americans were scared, lonely, and unemployed, all while the global economy teetered on the edge of collapse. One wrong move by President Trump and his team could have ushered in years, even decades, of irreparable harm. In this frank, candid account of his ten months in the White House, Mark Meadows—known simply as “The Chief” around the West Wing—tells the harrowing story of how he and a close team of loyal advisors helped President Trump bring the country back from the brink of catastrophe. In a style that is accessible, suspenseful, and often humorous, Meadows pulls back the curtain on the West Wing as it was run by President Trump, fighting the false narrative of the Fake News with the hard, unvarnished truth. This is the definitive book about the final year of President Trump’s first term, told by the only man (other than President Trump himself) who was there for every minute of it.

About the author

I'm a home-based medical transcriptionist, author, and stay-at-home mom. I wear these hats proudly. I've been married 20 years to a very serious man who is my total opposite and we are absolutely devoted to one another. We have two boys. One is thirteen and the other is seven. They are both straight "A" students and love to read. Nope, I don't have a dog or a cat. I love all God's creations, but the only pets I have time for are my boys. LOL!!! Anyway, writing is my special power. I experienced a trauma as a young girl that gave me a deeper insight into the depth of people's cruelty as well as their kindness. Instead of crawling within myself, I embraced freedom of expression by putting pencil to paper literally. Then one day my wonderful mom brought home a used typewriter. I took a typing course in school and voila!!!! Typing and creative writing met Jennifer Ray! We've been a pair since then. I say to you that if you reflect, you can see how your past brought you to your present. There is no growth or maturity without reflection. Embrace it. Much love and wishes for greatness to all of you.
