"Regardless of how much money you have, your race, where you live, what
religion you follow, you are going through something. Or you already
have or you will. As momma always said, "Everybody's got something."
So begins beloved Good Morning America anchor Robin Roberts's new memoir
in which she recounts the incredible journey that's been her life so
far, and the lessons she's learned along the way. With grace, heart, and
humor, she writes about overcoming breast cancer only to learn five
years later that she will need a bone marrow transplant to combat a rare
blood disorder, the grief and heartbreak she suffered when her mother
passed away, her triumphant return to GMA after her medical leave, and
the tremendous support and love of her family and friends that saw her
through her difficult times.
Following her mother's advice to "make your mess your message," Robin
taught a nation of viewers that while it is true that we've all got
something -- a medical crisis to face, aging parents to care for,
heartbreak in all its many forms --- we've also all got something to
give: hope, encouragement, a life-saving transplant or a spirit-saving
embrace. As Robin has learned, and what readers of her remarkable story
will come to believe as well, it's all about faith, family and friends.
And finding out that you are stronger, much stronger, than you think.
