“East Wing brought back wonderful memories for me...some things I hadn’t thought about in a long time. Mary’s stories about our White House days are accurate and fun to read.” --Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter “Mary Finch Hoyt’s memoirs of her years as press secretary to Rosalynn Carter are engrossing, informative and a wonderful read. In a time of ‘spin,’ she tells it like it was to be a part of history in the making. As a reporter on the other side of the fence, I learned a lot.” --Helen Thomas, Hearst Newspapers Columnist “Mary Hoyt helped Senator Ed Muskie’s wife navigate the highs and lows of a tumultuous presidential campaign in an era when it was rare for women to campaign on their own. Her memoir is a faithful and valuable contribution to the political record of those times.” --Senator George Mitchell, author of “Making Peace” “East Wing is an insightful and brilliant story that reveals how some of the most remarkable political partners of the 20th century—-including Eleanor McGovern—- found and exercised their public voices.” --Senator George McGovern, author of “The Third Freedeom” “In East Wing: Memoirs of Politics, the Press and a First Lady, Mary Finch Hoyt recounts her life journey that brought her to the White House as press secretary for Rosalynn Carter between 1977 and 1981. It is a candid and frank narrative that recaptures the promise and disappointments of the Carter years in a sympathetic yet realistic light. Rosalynn Carter emerges as the First Lady activist that she was, and Hoyt’s account should spark a reappraisal of this important but neglected presidential spouse. The anecdotes about the Carters’ travels, White House events, and campaigning will be a rich trove for future historians of this presidency.” --Lewis L. Gould, from the introduction to East Wing No library descriptions found. |
