The ultimate D.C. outsider, she joins the elite team who accompany the president wherever he goes, recorder and mic in hand. On whirlwind trips across time zones, Beck forges friendships with a dynamic group of fellow travelers--young men and women who, like her, leave their real lives behind to hop aboard Air Force One in service of the president. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs she learns to navigate White House protocols and more than once runs afoul of the hierarchy, Beck becomes romantically entangled with a consummate D.C. insider, and suddenly the political becomes all too personal. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAgainst a backdrop of glamour, drama, and intrigue, this is the story of a young woman learning what truly matters, and, in the process, discovering her voice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePraise for \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom the Corner of the Oval\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Who knew the West Wing could be so sexy?
