Join Lisa McCubbin, award-winning journalist and the author of numerous New York Times bestselling titles, as she discusses her newly released book on Betty Ford. Betty Ford: First Lady, Women’s Advocate, Survivor, Trailblazer is based on intimate in-depth interviews with family, friends, and colleagues of Mrs. Ford. McCubbin reveals a fiercely independent woman who had a lively sense of humor, unwavering faith, and an indomitable spirit—the true story behind one of the most admired and influential women of our time.

Betty Ford: First Lady, Women’s Advocate, Survivor, Trailblazer is a deeply personal, empathic portrait of an outspoken First Lady, who was first and foremost a devoted wife and mother. Lisa McCubbin 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 - a relationship built on trust, respect, and an unquantifiable chemistry.

This event is part of the Betty Ford Centennial Celebration.
