Synopsis

#1 AMAZON BEST SELLER IN THE UNITED STATES, CANADA AND AUSTRALIA!
"A bundle of ideas”—The Wall Street Journal

Her husband Funk calls her “A Skydiver Afraid of Heights." Someone who figures out how to spend a cost-free summer in Europe, arranges it all, but when it’s time to leave, has an ANXIETY ATTACK walking out the door.

In this first volume of her humorous, sharp-witted, and brutally honest memoir, Gloria pushes past her fears and spends the summer abroad, before setting up her husband's campaign headquarters. Then, without any experience, she helps Funk cross the finish line—only to learn that being Kansas City’s First Lady will be much more difficult than she could’ve ever imagined (but those stories are saved for later books).

In sharing her story of courage and becoming her New and Better Self, Gloria hopes to inspire you to step out in confidence, to make a difference where it counts, and to stand up for others … and yourself.

Gloria Squitiro remains a New York Italian girl at heart, who can't—and won't—stop VOICING what most of us know but are unwilling to say.

"In this hilarious and candid memoir, a mayor’s wife shares the adventures and lessons of her unconventional life and family—from spending a summer abroad to being banned from her husband’s office at city hall!"—International Feature BookBub

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

It's her calling to make every husband on earth feel grateful they're not married to her. Gloria Squitiro is the birth mother of Tara and Andrew, and the cosmic mother of Alex, Nick, Pipo and Anna. She has been married to her husband, Mark Funkhouser ("Funk") for over 40 years. Squitiro has an INFJ personality (introverted, intuitive, feeling, judging): An advocate and dreamer who takes concrete steps to realize goals and make a lasting, positive impact. Helping others is her purpose, but not through charity work. Her passion is to get to the heart of issues so people need not be rescued at all. In 2006, Gloria became Funk's campaign manager by default. She has the rare distinction of being the only First Lady in America to have a City Council legally ban her from the Kansas City, MO City Hall office where her husband was mayor. Good Morning America, Fox and Friends, NPR, The Wall Street Journal, NY Times, USA Today, The Washington Post-even Great Britain's left-wing The Guardian and America's right-wing Rush Limbaugh-did stories about her. They can throw her out, but they can't shut her up! Squitiro has a bachelor's in psychology and is published in Harper's Magazine. Her memoir, May Cause Drowsiness and Blurred Vision: The Side Effects of Bravery, is the first in her three-book C'mon Funk series. She lives in Washington, DC with Funk, surrounded by some of their flock.
