Following a journey that led her from the cotton fields of Lincoln County, Arkansas, to the West Wing of the White House, writer, columnist, and oral historian Janis Kearney discusses her experiences during nearly six years as President Clinton’s White House diarist. The fourteenth of nineteen children born into a sharecropping family in the delta region of southeastern Arkansas, Kearney and her siblings were taught by their parents to dream and to work toward fulfilling their dreams. Kearney published the historic Arkansas State Press for a number of years before joining Clinton's administration as his personal diarist, the first such presidential appointment. Kearney is the author of books and articles, including Something to Write Home About: Memories from a Presidential Diarist, Cotton Field of Dreams, and Once Upon a Time, There was a Girl: A Murder at Mobile Bay.
