"This delightful memoir is filled with Connie Chung's trademark wit, sharp insights, and deep understanding of people. It's a revealing account of what it's like to be a woman breaking barriers in the world of TV news, filled with colorful tales of rivalry and triumph. But it also has a larger theme: how the line between serious reporting and tabloid journalism became blurred." - Walter Isaacson, New York Times bestselling author

In a sharp, witty, and frank memoir, iconic trailblazer and legendary journalist Connie Chung pulls no punches in detailing her storied career as the first Asian woman to make her mark in the predominantly white, male-dominated television news industry.
 
 Connie Chung is a pioneer. As the young age, having ten siblings, Connie was the only child born in the U.S. Her parents escaped war-filled China, made the dangerous journey to America, promising a better future. Connie would eventually make history as the first female (and Asian) to co-anchor the CBS Evening News. Profoundly influenced by her family's cultural traditions yet fully embracing American culture, she dealt with blatant sexism and racism. Despite all, she remained steadfast, becoming a household name.
 
 In Connie: A Memoir, Chung discloses the details of her unique life. From her close relationship with Maury Povich, her husband and professional confidante; to the painful memory of being abused by the doctor who delivered her; to adopting their son when she was almost fifty - she is candid. Revealing about the good, the bad, and the ugly of her personal and professional life—this is Connie Chung like you've never seen before.
