“The Residence” by Kate Andersen Brower – The Invisible Servants
When people try to figure out the inner workings of the White House, how things happen there in general and the relationships people really have with each other, they tend to try and get that information from the more renowned public figures. However, it is very easy to forget that very few are in a better place to truly know what happens behind closed doors than the countless servants hired to work there. Being virtually invisible and called upon to work everywhere behind the scenes, their stories are certainly interesting, but overshadowed by anonymity.
