A Memoir of Overcoming

Ms. Kaufmman became an Emmy award winning television news correspondent in spite of being the daughter of alcoholic American Indian parents.

Her first major success came in Seattle because of the illness of both the morning news anchor and morning news reporter. As the only one left standing, Kauffman was given the opportunity to anchor the morning news and made the most of it.

Kauffman’s success had its price – 2 divorces and episodes of depression and remorse.

Ms. Kauffman’s story is quite powerful. Unfortunately, her tendency to switch back and forth in time, telling the story and then providing the backfill, makes for a difficult read. If you a fan, its good reading; if not, you might want to give it a pass.
