What If . . .

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, 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.
