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 break into an overwhelmingly white,
male-dominated television news industry.
Connie Chung is a pioneer. The youngest of ten children, she was the
only one born in the U.S., after her parents escaped war-torn China in
a harrowing journey to America, where Connie would one day make history
as the first woman (and Asian) to co-anchor the CBS Evening News.
Profoundly influenced by her family’s cultural traditions, yet growing
up completely Americanized, she dealt with overt sexism and
racism. Despite this, her tenacity led her to become a household
name.
In Connie: A Memoir, Chung reveals behind-the-scenes details of her
singular life. From her close relationship with Maury Povich, her
husband and professional confidant; to the horrific memory of being
molested by the doctor who had delivered her; to her joy of adopting
their son when she was almost fifty, she does not hold
back. She talks honestly about the good, bad, and ugly in her
personal and professional life—this is Connie Chung like you’ve never
seen her before.
