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.) W
hat if our political leaders actually led? What if Downton Abbey was full of Ame
ricans? What if, for some reason, I couldn't be creative and work? These are jus
t a few of the 'what ifs' that Shirley MacLaine considers in her new book writte
n in the style of her beloved and laugh-out-loud memoir I'm Over All That. In Wh
at If...she speculates on a wide range of matters, spiritual and secular, humoro
us and profound, earth-bound and high-flying, personal and universal. This is Sh
irley MacLaine at her most funny, acerbic, imaginative, and irresistible.
