What If . . .: A Lifetime of Questions, Speculations, Reasonable Guesses, and a Few Things I Know for Sure

Synopsis

Beloved actress and bestselling author Shirley MacLaine contemplates a wealth of subjects from the mundane to the esoteric in this all-new collection of musings that begin with two simple words: What if…What if hope is the most dangerous emotion?What if a frog had wings? (Answer: He wouldn’t bump his ass so much.)What if our political leaders actually led?What if Downton Abbey was full of Americans? What if, for some reason, I couldn't be creative and work? These are just a few of the “what ifs” that Shirley Maclaine considers in her new book written in the style of her beloved and laugh-out-loud memoir I’m Over All That. In What If…, she speculates on a wide range of matters both spiritual and secular, humorous and profound, earth-bound and high-flying, personal and universal. This is Shirley MacLaine at her most funny, acerbic, imaginative, and irresistible.
