¿Hailed as the next Eat, Pray, Love¿ ¿ CNN International ¿In this charming and highly readable memoir, the author takes a year off and tackles internships with gusto, proving that sometimes uprooting your entire life is the only way forward.¿  ¿ People magazine ¿This hilarious new memoir¿is the perfect escape.¿ ¿ Woman¿s World An exuberant, hilarious memoir about a woman who pauses her successful career for a year and explores the ¿What If¿ jobs of her dreams. On the cusp of turning forty, Alisha Fernandez Miranda has climbed to the peak of personal and professional success, but at a price; she¿s overworked and exhausted. Bravely, Alisha decides to give herself a break, temporarily pausing her stressful career as the CEO of a high-powered consulting firm. With the tentative blessing of her husband and eight-year-old twins, she leaves her home in London to spend one year exploring the dream jobs of her youth, seeking answers to the question, ¿What If?¿ What follows is a spirited and hilarious journey for Alisha - and the reader. Contending with her lack of experience (and the onset of a global pandemic), Alisha gofers for two high-profile Broadway productions (and nearly tramples Stephen Sondheim), attempts to master a fitness regimen called Voga (a cross between yoga and ¿voguing¿), feigns confidence while handling multi-million-dollar artwork at Christie¿s, and literally sets her shirt on fire while serving rack of lamb in a posh hotel on Scotland¿s remote Isle of Skye. Her experiences are at once challenging and humbling, and push the boundaries of what Alisha thought she was physically, mentally, and emotionally capable of. Alishäs ¿What If¿ year reveals that she can achieve success on her own terms by embodying the spirit of the intern: never stop learning, be flexible, and understand that failure is a prerequisite for growth. For anyone whös ever felt stuck in a rut, My What If Year proves that it¿s never too late to say yes to second chances and explore the roads untraveled throughout your life.
