Description

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Cassidy Hutchinson’s desk was mere steps from the most controversial president in recent American history, and she provides a riveting account of her extraordinary experience as an idealistic young woman thrust into the middle of a national crisis, where she risked everything to tell the truth about President Trump and some of the most powerful people who surrounded him.

Ever since a childhood visit to Washington, DC, Cassidy Hutchinson aspired to serve her country in government. Raised in a working-class family with a military background, she was the first in her immediate family to graduate from college. Despite having no ties to Washington, Hutchinson landed a vital position at the center of the Trump White House.

Her life took a dramatic turn on January 6th, 2021, when, at twenty-four, she found herself in one of the most extraordinary and unprecedented calamities in modern political history.

Hutchinson was faced with a choice between loyalty to the Trump administration or loyalty to the country by revealing what she saw and heard in the attempt to overthrow a democratic election. She bravely came forward to become the pivotal witness in the House January 6 investigations, as her testimony transfixed and stunned the nation. In her memoir, Hutchinson reveals the struggle between the pressures she confronted to toe the party line and the demands of the oath she swore to defend American democracy.

Enough reaches far beyond the typical insider political account. It’s the saga of a woman whose “bravery and patriotism” (Liz Cheney, former US Representative) helped her overcome childhood challenges to get her dream job, only to face a crisis of conscience—one that more senior White House aides tried to evade—and, in the process, find her voice and herself. As the New York Times noted, “In this age of political cowardice and self-dealing, it can be easy to forget that public service is supposed to be a noble calling...Cassidy Hutchinson reminded us what that looks like.” This is a portrait of how the courage of one person can change the course of history.

    I enjoyed reading about Ms. Hutchinson’s child hood. Even though she was proud of working her way from Congressional staff to working with the president and his administration, she did the right thing when she testified before the January 6th Committee, not only for what she felt was her truth, but, for the people of America. Awesome book.
  • She sat for all to see and told the truth.

    Get to know her and why she wanted to serve. Find out how her service evolved and surpassed own values and what she did about it. She was not always in the room but where everyone talked about it. I found her to be very credible.

    This book is the author’s story of events at the center of a most historic time for our nation. It’s simple yet exquisite dialogue compels the reader to learn, “what happens next?” And the truth versus privacy conflict with the involvement of good honest people makes this a most satisfying reading experience. This should be required reading at the high school level to inspire the coming generations on how the truth can be your strongest ally in life.

    I saw Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony live during the Jan. 6 Hearing, and was impressed by her then. Reading her own account of how she got to her position and what she sacrificed for the love of our country was inspiring. Bravo!
  • She really is a hero.

    Cassidy thank you for sharing your story! You provide incredibly rich detail as well as your own state of mind and how you were processing it. I found the book hard to put down. I skimmed through your early family narrative .. readers I recommend a quick skim of Cassidy’s childhood - but I now want to reread those chapters now that I have finished the book. Cassidy - your courage is amazing to me. You and Liz Chaney paid for your courage in real and tangible ways.
  • Great read from a great American
