Sylvia McIvers asked Kate Andersen Brower:

Does this happen often? I wanted to let you know that I'm enjoying your book but can't finish it yet: My entirely non-political teenager has "borrowed" it and won't give it back yet :)

Kate Andersen Brower Hi Sylvia, I haven't heard that before but that makes me very happy. It also sounds like you have a precocious teenager! I hope you both enjoy it - once you get a chance to read it, that is. I've written two books and I'm not sure which one you're referencing here but if it's THE RESIDENCE, now is a very interesting time to be thinking about what it feels like for the butlers, maids and other members of the White House staff. They told me each time a new president and his family move in it's exciting but also bittersweet because they come to love the families they serve.
