Lee Woodruff October 12, 2010
Woodruff, a family life contributor for ABC’s Good Morning America and wife of anchor Bob Woodruff, shares reflections on marriage and life in this engaging solo follow-up to In an Instant (2008), the book she wrote with her husband. She chronicles the everyday life of a woman balancing family and career: wanting to be the most fun mom but exhausted at an “über-intense” theme park with her four children; comparing her children’s adolescence with recollections of her own; examining the contents of a jewelry box that evokes memories; extolling a friendship that sustained through the death of her friend’s husband and the severe injury of her own husband while covering the Iraq War; recalling an impromptu Botox injection while visiting a Dallas television station. Woodruff considers childbirth, a hysterectomy, aging, pets, and awkward gifts in this winning and intimate look at the imperfections of family life. --Vanessa Bush
