Description

Betty Ford: First Lady, Women's Advocate, Survivor, Trailblazer is the inspiring story of an ordinary Midwestern girl thrust onto the world stage and into the White House under extraordinary circumstances. With courage and determination, Betty Ford refused to be silenced by her critics as she publicly championed equal rights for women and spoke out about issues that had previously been taboo.

From her personal struggles with addiction to her groundbreaking work in founding the Betty Ford Center, this book offers a vivid picture of a singularly influential woman. Lisa McCubbin's biography is based on intimate interviews with Betty Ford's children, as well as family, friends, and colleagues, providing a unique and insightful look into her life.

This book tells the sweeping love story of Gerald and Betty Ford, from their early days together to their years in the White House, and explores the enduring relationship that was built on trust, respect, and an unquantifiable chemistry.
