Description
President Rex Funck is a loutish, lying old bully whose affairs have deeply hurt his stunning wife Natalia, a former model from Slovakia. Now he wants to get her pregnant so voters will see him as a macho stud and re-elect him in a landslide. Natalia despises Funck too much to go through with it. With the help of Angel, her gay Mexican hairdresser and BFF, she secretly flees the White House. To take her place they leave Moon, a ballsy trans woman who impersonates FLOTUS at a Miami drag-queen show. Natalia's suspenseful escape becomes a personal journey of self-awareness with unexpected twists and outrageous characters. Meanwhile, when the truth comes out about Moon at the White House, all hell breaks loose. In The First Lady Escapes: FLOTUS Flees the White House, Natalia proves herself a true American hero by saving her beloved adopted country from getting Funcked. 'A rippingly funny and surreal lampoon, the comic relief we so desperately need from the twisted absurdity of our current political horrors. It will leave you gasping with laughter and Trumpetized all at the same time.' 'I can't stop laughing! I'm buying a hundred copies to pass out at the next Women's March!'

A Note From the Publisher
This is the only satirical novel to bring alive a fantasy that many Americans - mostly women - have about the First Lady – that she wishes to escape the President.

'A rippingly funny and surreal lampoon, the comic relief we so desperately need…It will leave you gasping with laughter and Trumpetized all at the same time.'
'I can’t stop laughing! I’m buying a hundred copies to pass out at the next Women’s March!'
This hugely entertaining tale resonates with the hitherto unimaginable absurdities of current affairs. Never was a book more engaging nor more-timely. I chuckled all the way through it. Lionel Friedberg, author of New York Times bestseller Full Service

A wonderfully frivolous imagining of what might have happened when Melania went missing (because, let’s be honest, it’s very thinly disguised, which adds to its appeal) from the public eye. There are some more serious themes beneath all the bubbles, with a lovely supporting cast, all contributing to a fabulously light hearted read.
