Betty Ford was a groundbreaker in her time - advocating for women's rights and championing for breast cancer screenings and awareness. She also battled personal challenges, including an addiction to alcohol and prescription drugs. In the first biography written about Betty Ford, bestselling author Lisa McCubbin tells the story of a Midwestern girl who was thrust into the White House and under the world spotlight, setting an example of unapologetic fierceness and grace. Speaking out on topics that were seen as taboo at the time, she helped revolutionize treatment for alcoholism and inspired today's concept of recovery.
