My Year with Eleanor: A Memoir

From the publisher: "In the tradition of <em>My Year of Living Biblically</em> and <em>Eat Pray Love</em>, Noelle Hancock’s hilarious tale of her decision to heed the advice of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and do one thing a day that scares her. After losing her high-octane job as an entertainment blogger, Noelle Hancock was lost. About to turn twenty-nine, she'd spent her career writing about celebrities' lives and had forgotten how to live her own. Until inspiration struck one day in the form of a quote on a chalkboard in a coffee shop: 'Do one thing every day that scares you.' With Eleanor as her guide, Noelle spends the months leading up to her thirtieth birthday pursuing a 'Year of Fear.' From shark diving to fighter pilot lessons, from tap dancing and stand-up comedy to confronting old boyfriends, her hilarious and harrowing adventures teach her about who she is, and what she can become—lessons she makes vital for all of us."
