"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, spends the summer abroad with her family (living far outside her comfort zone) before setting up a campaign office, and eventually, without any experience, 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 also step out in confidence, to make a difference where it counts, and to stand up for others … and yourself.

Gloria Squitiro is still 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
