In what is sure to be one of the most talked about political memoirs of the year, Mary Cheney, who served as a top campaign aide to her father, US Vice President Dick Cheney, offers a behind-the-scenes look at the high intensity world of American presidential politicking and presents her account of what it was like to become an issue in the 2004 campaign. Cheney first campaigned with her father when she was eight years old. In the last two presidential campaigns, she was in the middle of every major event at the highest level - at the conventions, the debates, the controversies and on the trail. Both elections made history - and so did Mary. Now for the first time she writes about what it was like to be involved in her father's campaigns as a family member, a staffer and, although she never intended it, as a political target for the other side. Frank, funny, down-to-earth, Mary Cheney tells her own amazing story in her own words.

Who is Mary Cheney? 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.
