INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "It's a hell of a story." -The
New York Times "A stunning and revelatory memoir." -Oprah Daily
From MSNBC anchor and instant New York Times bestselling author
Katy Tur, a shocking and deeply personal memoir about a life spent
chasing the news. When a box from her mother showed up on Katy
Tur's doorstep, months into the pandemic and just as she learned
she was pregnant with her second child, she didn't know what to
expect. The box contained thousands of hours of video-the work of
her pioneering helicopter journalist parents. They grew rich and
famous for their aerial coverage of Madonna and Sean Penn's secret
wedding, the Reginald Denny beating in the 1992 Los Angeles riots,
and O.J. Simpson's notorious run in the white Bronco. To Tur, these
family videos were an inheritance of sorts, and a reminder of who
she was before her own breakout success as a reporter. In Rough
Draft, Tur writes about her eccentric and volatile California
childhood, punctuated by forest fires, earthquakes, and police
chases-all seen from a thousand feet in the air. She recounts her
complicated relationship with a father who was magnetic, ambitious,
and, at times, frightening. And she charts her own survival from
local reporter to globe-trotting foreign correspondent, running
from her past. Tur also opens up for the first time about her
struggles with burnout and impostor syndrome, her stumbles in the
anchor chair, and her relationship with CBS Mornings anchor Tony
Dokoupil (who quite possibly had a crazier childhood than she did).
Intimate and captivating, Rough Draft explores the gift and curse
of family legacy, examines the roles and responsibilities of the
news, and asks the question: To what extent do we each get to write
our own story?
