“Hailed as the next Eat, Pray, Love” —CNN International
An exuberant, hilarious memoir about a woman who pauses her successful career for a year and explores the “What If” jobs of her dreams.
DELIGHTFULLY IRREVERENT, My What If Year recounts the adventures of a successful, Latina CEO and mother of twins who—on the cusp of turning forty—takes a break from her job for one year to explore the dream careers she never pursued. Alisha’s hilarious internship adventure takes her to Broadway, the London art scene, a posh Scottish hotel, and the workout world. Her experiences—both challenging and extremely humbling—teach her the real meaning of success.
