"A wonderful book. A book full of the love of life. And full of gratitude. This book is blessedly free of cynicism, irony, posing. It's straight. It's good. And obviously a total reflection of its author."-- Jay Nordlinger, National Review, PRAISE FOR DANA PERINO: "This book is a gem--modest and moving, clear and unpretentious. It gives the kind of practical and even ethical advice everyone starting out needs, but it's also funny and full of great stories. Dana is a true role model." -- Peggy Noonan, "Part autobiography, part memoir of a press secretary in the White House, part career and life guidance, and part appeal to civility, Dana Perino's AND THE GOOD NEWS IS... is all parts captivating."-- Donna Brazile, "Dana Perino has given us a clear-eyed, practical guide that even those of us who, like Dana, are 'formerly young women' will benefit from. Her self-deprecating humor shines through on these pages with advice that's tried and true, and that folks will return to time and time again. From 'stepping into the uncomfortable' to 'finding your strong voice' and learning to use it (even when you don't feel 100 percent comfortable), Dana's advice is relevant whether you are just starting out, or navigating a mid-career pivot. You'll find much to love and great tools for your personal arsenal in these pages."-- Laura Cox Kaplan, creator and host of the She Said/She Said podcast, "You know a book by a trailblazing White House press secretary will be written with unusual clarity. What might surprise you here, though, is the utter absence of spin. Dana Perino is full of relatable stories and authentic advice--reading this is the next best thing to being mentored by her." -- Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of THINK AGAIN and ORIGINALS, and host of the TED podcast WorkLife, "Young women need role models. I know that if I was in my twenties, Dana Perino would be someone I would look up to for advice on navigating my way through society, my career, and adulthood. EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY is like having a conversation with Dana. She is witty, engaging, sophisticated, graceful and generous. Through this book, she will guide countless young women through right and wrong. By the end of it, she won't just seem like your role model, but also your friend."-- Ayaan Hirsi Ali, New York Times bestselling author of HERETIC, "A lovely memoir, both charming and wise, studded with invaluable life lessons garnered on her fascinating journey to the highest levels of media and government. A wonderful read."-- Charles Krauthammer, "Women helping women is the name of the game, but many women don't know where to start when looking for a mentor.
