Summary

Growing up in Denver and Wyoming, Dana Perino never dreamed she’d be the first Republican woman to become White House press secretary. Nor did she imagine she would get a black eye in Baghdad when a man threw two shoes at President George W. Bush during a press conference. Dana Perino is Fox News’ co-host of The Five and co-anchor of America’s Newsroom, and author of the new best-seller, Everything Will Be Okay: Life Lessons for Young Women (From a Former Young Woman).
