Hoda: How I Survived War Zones, Bad Hair, Cancer, and Kathie Lee - Hoda Kotb

In her memoir, Kotb shares what she has learned along her journey, from breast cancer survivor to Today Show anchor. \nHoda is a memoir of lessons Kotb has learned along her journey, from breast cancer survivor to Today show anchor. \nShe's just like the rest of us: overstuffed purse, always losing keys, high-maintenance hair, snack guilt after an evening binge. But she's something different, too. \n \nHoda Kotb grew up in two cultures--one where summers meant playing at the foot of the ancient pyramids and another where she had to meet her junior prom date at the local 7-Eleven to spare them both the wrath of her conservative Egyptian parents. She's traveled the globe for network television, smuggling videotapes in her shoes and stepping along roads riddled with land mines. She's weathered the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, and a personal Category 5 as well: divorce and breast cancer in the same year. And if that's not scary enough, she then began cohosting the fourth hour of Today with Kathie Lee Gifford. (Oh, c'mon, KLG That's funny...put down the huge pour of Chardonnay and laugh with us.) \n \nHoda reads just like Kotb herself--light, funny, positive, and positively inspiring.\n
