Produktbeschreibung

A People Magazine "Best New Book"

"Hailed as the next Eat, Pray, Love" -CNN International

An exuberant, hilarious memoir about a woman who pauses her successful career for a year and explores the "What If" jobs of her dreams.

DELIGHTFULLY IRREVERENT, My What If Year recounts the adventures of a successful, Latina CEO and mother of twins who-on the cusp of turning forty-takes a break from her job for one year to explore the dream careers she never pursued. Alisha's hilarious internship adventure takes her to Broadway, the London art scene, a posh Scottish hotel, and the workout world. Her experiences-both challenging and extremely humbling-teach her the real meaning of success.
