MSNBC anchor and NBC correspondent Katyk Tur writes about her eccentric and volatile California childhood, punctuated by forest fires, earthquakes, and police chases--all seen from a thousand feet in the air. And she charts her own survival from local reporter to globe-trotting foreign correspondent, running from her past.
What The Reviewers Say
... [Tur's] second, equally compelling memoir.
[Tur's] second book therefore tells a story she had spent her adult life avoiding: the story of her childhood. The switch was the right choice because even a particularly hard-fought campaign could not compete with the drama of her upbringing.
This is a case study in the blessings and curse of family legacy, a vivid account of how one woman’s inheritance propelled her from a tumultuous childhood to a high-profile perch in television journalism.
The family story is thoroughly involving, but Tur has a lot more pages to fill, and here she struggles a bit. There’s her romance and marriage to CBS Mornings co-anchor Tony Dokoupil and plenty about the c-section birth of their son, Teddy. Her COVID-19 years are as boring as everyone else’s COVID-19 years, and she fades to black with the events of January 6. Still, Tur (and her husband) are high profile, so this will attract attention..
