HTML:<b>From the #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Five Presidents</i> and <i>The Kennedy Detail</i> comes an "</b><b>insightful and beautifully told look into the life of one of the most public and admired first ladies" (<i>Publishers Weekly</i>)—Betty Ford.</b><br /> <i>Betty Ford: First Lady, Women's Advocate, Survivor, Trailblazer</i> is the inspiring story of an ordinary Midwestern girl thrust onto the world stage and into the White House under extraordinary circumstances. Setting a precedent as First Lady, Betty Ford refused to be silenced by her critics as she publicly championed equal rights for women, and spoke out about issues that had previously been taboo—breast cancer, depression, abortion, and sexuality. Privately, there were signs something was wrong. After a painful intervention by her family, she admitted to an addiction to alcohol and prescription drugs. Her courageous decision to speak out publicly sparked a national dialogue, and in 1982, she co-founded the Betty Ford Center, which revolutionized treatment for alcoholism and inspired the modern concept of recovery.<br /> <br /> Lisa McCubbin also brings to light Gerald and Betty Ford's sweeping love story: from Michigan to the White House, until their dying days, their relationship was that of a man and woman utterly devoted to one another other—a relationship built on trust, respect, and an unquantifiable chemistry.<br /> <br /> Based on intimate interviews with her children, Susan Ford Bales and Steven Ford, as well as family, friends, and colleagues, <i>Betty Ford</i> is "a vivid picture of a singularly influential woman" (<i>Bookpage</i>).
