Story
Assistant, you are a leader. As an assistant, you constantly face obstacles that hold you back from accomplishing your career goals. Whether it’s a job change, shifting deadlines, a micromanaging executive, a toxic coworker, a high-pressure project, or an intense negotiation with a vendor, the administrative profession is not for the faint of heart. If you’re looking to maintain the status quo and be “just an assistant”, this audiobook is not for you. But, if you want the confidence and ability to conquer the challenges that most try to avoid, then you’re in the right place.

Story
Behind a smokescreen of “preparing students for the new industrial economy,” early progressives had political control in mind. America’s original schools didn’t just make kids memorize facts or learn skills; they taught them to think freely and arrive at wisdom. They assigned the classics, inspired love of God and country, and raised future citizens that changed the world forever. Battle for the American Mind is the untold story of the Progressive plan to neutralize the basis of our Republic—by removing the ingredient that had sustained Western Civilization.

As a highly respected pollster for corporate and Republican clients and a frequent television talk show guest, Kellyanne Conway had already established herself as one of the brightest lights on the national political scene when Donald Trump asked her to run his presidential campaign. She agreed, delivering him to the White House, becoming the first woman in American history to manage a winning presidential campaign. Who she is, how she did it, and who tried to stop her is a fascinating story of personal triumph and political intrigue that has never been told…until now.

Story
It was a devastating triple punch. Capping their four-year campaign to destroy the Trump presidency, the media portrayed a Democratic victory as necessary and inevitable. Big Tech, wielding unprecedented powers, vaporized dissent and erased damning reports about the Biden family’s corruption. Rigged is the definitive account of the 2020 election. Based on Mollie Hemingway’s exclusive interviews with campaign officials, reporters, Supreme Court justices, and President Trump himself, it exposes the fraud and cynicism behind the Democrats’ historic power grab.

It's just a small story really, about, among other things, a girl, some words, an accordionist, some fanatical Germans, a Jewish fist-fighter, and quite a lot of thievery. Set during World War II in Germany, Markus Zusak's groundbreaking new novel is the story of Liesel Meminger, a foster girl living outside of Munich. Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can't resist: books.

Publisher's Summary
In The President Will See You Now, devoted Reagan insider Peggy Grande shares behind-the-scenes stories, intimate moments, and insights into one of America's most beloved presidents. Grande, who started in the Office of Ronald Reagan as a college student and earned her way into a coveted role as the president's Executive Assistant, offers an unparalleled perspective on the post-presidency of a political icon.
Grande's stories and never-before-seen photos show a unique, private side to a public figure and leader who reshaped conservatism, ushered in an era of prosperity, and helped spur the end of the Cold War. Grande reveals what day-to-day life was like in Reagan's California office, including the former president's relationship with the First Lady and his interactions with friends, world leaders, and everyday Americans. Grande recalls how Reagan kept a vigorous schedule for years after he left the White House, his robust engagement with others, and ongoing political advocacy. Despite his eventual Alzheimer's diagnosis, Grande shows how Ronald Reagan remained true to core beliefs, his gentlemanly kindness, and his undying hope for his country.
Today the Reagan legacy looms over American politics more than ever. Grande reminds listeners why: When Ronald Reagan was president, we not only loved ourselves but also loved America, and the American values he represented: Faith, optimism, and patriotism.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

A Must Listen
As an author with two books on Audible myself, and two about to be published on Audible, I admire those listens that keep you engaged and captivated. The President Will See You Now did just that! I had the honor of shaking President Reagan's hand and meeting him with Nancy at his side, backstage in St. Louis when he was the Republican nominee in 1980. I watched our country that was a laughing stock of other countries after Iran took and held American hostages; I watched interest rates climb to 21%, and no hope of any future for our country - until President Reagan took office and gave us a vision of what we could become as a nation. Not only did he create that optimism, but he also took us there with his actions. The author's firsthand account solidifies my admiration for President Reagan. I worked with many Secret Service agents over the years and they all admired him because of how he made them feel. The author's book confirms who President Reagan was. Thank you to the author for your service to our President and giving us a peek behind the curtain that few will ever know on one of our greatest U.S. presidents.

Great insight to Reagan's post presidency
Enjoyable read. Hard not to get emotional at times. Author was able to live and experience what most Americans felt robbed of and that is the remaining years of Reagans life. He had a way of making you feel as though he was an old friend. I remember wanting a glimpse into his life in his final years. This book brought closure to those last years.

What a pleasant surprise!
I didn't expect to get so much from this book. It was pleasant and uplifting in the memories and loyalty displayed by the author as well as the stories of the team around the President. Wonderful behind the scenes stories of the man, the support team and the elements of supporting an ex-POTUS. It was a great read of the functions and life after a President leaves office. The book added the the story of Ronald Reagan's life.

Boring at best.
I like President Reagan and I think he was one the best presidents we have ever had. That being said, this book is a worship to Reagan, which is odd considering she mentioned she is a Christian. Don't expect anything about Reagan's life after the White house, just her describing how she is an amazing assistant, she did her job perfectly and how Reagan is close to a god to her. oh, yes, I lost count of how often she mentioned President Reagan's eyes "twinkled."
I was excited for this book but I gave up on Chapter 15. If I could give zero star, I would.

I am always eager to read books of the man I considered to be one of the most inspiring men of our age, Ronald Reagan. Not just for his politics but for his human decency and the quality of his humanity. This book did not disappoint, it was very moving and reinforced what I had already known about this great world leader. Thank you, Peggy, for taking the time to write this book and give us such wonderful insight in a close personal way. I realized at the end I still miss him.

Best personal book on working with a president!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Depending on the friend, yes. Not many people I know listen to the memoirs of assistants to presidents, so it is not for just anyone. But for someone like me who has read and loves to know about the presidents and the people around them, this is one of the best books I have ever read on the subject.
What other book might you compare The President Will See You Now to and why?
Alyssa Mastromonaco's "Who Thought This Was A Good Idea?" and Rosemarie Terenzio's "Fairy Tale Interrupted". Both good books regarding being an assistant to power.
What about Peggy Grande’s performance did you like?
No one could have told her story with such eloquence and heartfelt love for President Reagan as the woman that lived it herself. This book is a gift to all of us who loved President Reagan and who love hearing how great he was and that he had someone so wonderful to take care of him and Mrs. Reagan.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When Ms. Grande is heartfelt about seeing the president for the last time and how hard it was to say goodbye to someone she so loved. She had you right there, right in that back yard with her. I tear up now just writing the review. When you tear up in describing the emotion, you know it hit home!
Any additional comments?
A truly fantastic read that should be considered for History classes. A gift.
