{"product_id":"9781668096482","title":"The First Lady Next Door","description":"\u003cb\u003eAn inspiring memoir by the Canadian-born former First Lady of Iceland that asks the question: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat if the life you didn't plan is the one where you find your voice\u003cb\u003e?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn early 2016, Canadian-born Eliza Reid’s biggest daily goals were modest but meaningful: showering without one of her four kids bursting into the bathroom, juggling clients without dropping a deadline, and growing the writers’ retreat she was building from scratch. What wasn’t on her bingo card? That her husband—a bookish, cardigan-wearing history professor—would run for president of Iceland. . . and seven weeks later, actually win.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Suddenly, Eliza was catapulted into a new life as First Lady of her adopted country, with the eyes of a nation watching her every move—as someone’s wife. Absent an instruction manual (she googled how to curtsy before meeting the Queen of Denmark), she decided to do what she’d always done: figure it out on her own terms.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Part fish out of water and part fairy tale, \u003ci\u003eThe First Lady Next Door\u003c\/i\u003e takes you from rural Ontario to Timbuktu, to the White House and Buckingham Palace. Eliza shows how embracing authenticity in all its messiness can become your greatest strength, even when the world expects polished perfection. After all, our everyday moments are what create the roadmap for making the unexpected count.","brand":"Eliza Reid (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":46224626188476,"sku":"9781668096482","price":38.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/8559\/2764\/files\/BNCImageAPI_b6b5baaa-db60-44ed-a6b3-7b9958815df8.jpg?v=1776881284","url":"https:\/\/wordsquirrelbooks.com\/products\/9781668096482","provider":"Word Squirrel Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
