... [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..

Tur delivers a raw look inside her childhood and career in this deeply personal memoir.

In writing that’s by turns introspective and bitingly funny, she offers readers a candid look at her growth as both an anchor, learning to hold 'power to account,' and as an individual finding her way through life’s vicissitudes—from supporting her father through their gender transition to parenting her own children with CBS Mornings coanchor Tony Dokoupil. Fans will find it a thrilling ride..

As the author probes the pain behind a storied career, she offers unvarnished insights into the fast-moving, often unforgiving world of high-powered journalism.
