Melania was the darling of her female staff in the East Wing of the White House --beautiful, brilliant, and yet gentle and gracious. Indeed, she appeared to have little in common with her husband, the real estate mogul and reality TV star whose background involving litigious business matters, romantic forays, and seemingly relentless media exposure had brought him to the most powerful position in the world. How did two such disparate personalities forge a loving relationship that became a centerpiece for the world stage? Best-selling author Bernard Conners has fashioned a gripping imaginative narrative that tells the story of a First Lady and her talented female staff--who when threatened with banishment and possible prison by hostile political forces devise a high-risk coup d'état that will enable the president and White House staff to contend with a challenging presidential election. But the simmering battle for ultimate authority between women in the East Wing and the president begins to roil emotions. Will the president accede to the burgeoning power of female admirals and generals who now dominate his cabinet? It is an uneasy alliance--a high-stakes game--and what does it all have to do with a beautiful cunning Russian scientist and a thermonuclear Doomsday bomb with the code name Hector? A comic meditation on romance and government intrigue, High Heels: Shadows in the White House spins a compelling tale of Trump's women, fake news, love, and female empowerment in the White House.About the Author: Bernard F.
