Writings

Brower's book The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House has been called a "groundbreaking" backstairs look at the maids and butlers[5] and other professionals who work at the White House.[6] The book hit number 1 on the nonfiction New York Times Best Seller list. Netflix has optioned the TV rights to the book with Shonda Rhimes producing.[7]

Her second nonfiction book, First Women: The Grace & Power of America's Modern First Ladies, examined the lives of the First Ladies of the United States. The book was called a "gossipy, but surprisingly deep, look at the women who help and sometimes overshadow their powerful husbands."[5]

Her third nonfiction book, First in Line, covers every vice president of the modern era, from Richard Nixon to Joe Biden and Mike Pence.[8]
