"In 2012, Beck Dorey-Stein was just scraping by in DC when a posting on Craigslist landed her, improbably, in the Oval Office as one of Barack Obama's stenographers. For five years, Beck was a part of the elite team of men and women who accompanied the president wherever he went, recorder and mic in hand. She got to know everyone from the White House butler to the secret servicemen, advance team, speechwriters, photographers, and press secretaries, and on whirlwind trips across time zones, she forged friendships with a tight group of fellow travelers in the bubble--young men and women who, like her, left their real lives behind to hop aboard Air Force One in service of the president.

GUIDELINES FOR ASPIRING STENOGRAPHERS
Abide by the rules, grammatical and otherwise. Show up early and say nothing. Be discreet and neat -- like a librarian or a well-paid prostitute. Neutral tones set the tone. Breathe quietly or not at all. Apply semicolons sparingly; do not question convention. Live to type, don't type to live. Exude femininity in a strictly nonsexual way. No hanky-panky in the workplace -- or anywhere, ever. Don't aim for perfection. Be perfection. And above all, keep the secrets to yourself.
I SHOULD NOT BE A STENOGRAPHER.

On a night like this, I wait for the voice of God. (Prologue: This place)
"So what do you do?" is the first question D. C. people ask, and the last question you want to answer if you're unemployed, which I am.
