Now It's My Turn: A Daughter's Chronicle of Political Life (2006)
In the most eagerly awaited political memoir of the season,
Mary Cheney, who served as a top campaign aide to her father, the vice
president, presents a behind-the-scenes look at the high-intensity world
of 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 to her father, she was in the middle of every major
event of the 2000 and 2004 presidential contests -- at the conventions,
the debates, and on the trail. Both elections made history -- and so did
Mary. And for the first time ever, she writes about what it was like to
be 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.
Mary, her experiences, and her opinions, have been the subject of
intense debate in the media and from activists on both ends of the
political spectrum, but she has never spoken publicly about herself, her
life, or her political views -- until now.
In Now It's My Turn, a frank, funny, and down-to-earth memoir,
Mary Cheney describes life inside the bubble of a national campaign. She
talks about her close relationship with her parents, how it feels to be
pursued by the press, and what it was like when John Edwards and John
Kerry made her sexual orientation an issue in live debates televised to
millions of Americans. As she describes it, life inside a presidential
campaign can be uplifting, frustrating, and heartbreaking, but no matter
what else it may be, it's always entertaining.
