About this audiobook
This program is read by the author.
A candid, riveting account of the Trump White House, on the front lines and behind the scenes.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders served as White House Press Secretary for President Donald J. Trump from 2017 to 2019. A trusted confidante of the President, Sanders advised him on everything from press and communications strategy to personnel and policy. She was at the President’s side for two and a half years, battling with the media, working with lawmakers and CEOs, and accompanying the President on every international trip, including dozens of meetings with foreign leaders—all while unfailingly exhibiting grace under pressure. Upon her departure from the administration, President Trump described Sarah as “irreplaceable,” a “warrior” and “very special person with extraordinary talents, who has done an incredible job.”
Now, in Speaking for Myself, Sarah Huckabee Sanders describes what it was like on the front lines and inside the White House, discussing her faith, the challenges of being a working mother at the highest level of American politics, her relationship with the press, and her unique role in the historic fight raging between the Trump administration and its critics for the future of our country.
This frank, revealing, and engaging memoir will offer a truly unique perspective on the most important issues and events of the era, and unprecedented access to both public and behind-the-scenes conversations within the Trump White House.
A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a wonderful book with a look into the Trump presidency that the media will not show. As well as a look into the life of a hard working dedicated woman who has done, is doing, and will do great things.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5She is so dishonest. I can’t believe anything she says as her entire job was to lie for Trump day in and day out. She is truly a repellant human being. Thought I could get past it but couldn’t listen through the second chapter. — this one is a stinker.
