Widely considered the first female presidential chief of staff, Marguerite "Missy" LeHand was the right-hand woman to Franklin Delano Roosevelt - both personally and professionally - for more than 20 years. Although her official title as personal secretary was relatively humble, her power and influence were unparalleled.

The Gatekeeper is a thoughtful, revealing, unsung-hero story about a woman ahead of her time.

Now I shun the day and all things human, driven by an ungodly thirst. And yet...
