Despite a glamorous lifestyle full of globetrotting adventures,
travel expert and entrepreneur Anna Kloots felt lost and
directionless. Now, for every woman searching for her voice, Anna
shares her story of finding and believing in her own magic. By the
time she reached her mid-twenties, Anna Kloots found that she had
all but disappeared. Assistant to her husband, renowned magician
Joshua Jay, Anna Kloots traveled to 83 countries across six
continents. Alongside Josh, she tracked tigers in Jaipur, rode a
bobsled in Jamaica, performed on a floating palace that perpetually
sailed the world, rode in a hot-air balloon over the desert of
Dubai, and planted mangroves in the Mekong Delta. When the curtain
went down, Anna found herself rootless and alone--struggling in a
relationship that relegated her to the back seat and left no room
for her own desires and dreams. My Own Magic takes us on Anna's
journey around the world and back home to her family where she
ultimately finds purpose, love, joy, and the courage to follow her
own path. From the cobblestoned streets of Kosovo to the forests of
India, to the coral reefs of Fiji, Anna invites us behind the
scenes of her extraordinary life and inspires us to be the heroes
of our own adventure story. My Own Magic is a real-life
coming-of-age story about a woman who learned to find herself
through loss and discovered the power of travel to save the
soul--no sleight of hand required.
Amanda Kloots bravely reflects on love, loss, and life with her
husband, Broadway star, and Tony Award nominee Nick Cordero, whose
public battle with COVID-19 and tragic death made headlines around
the world. In March 2020, Broadway star and Tony Award nominee Nick
Cordero was hospitalized for what he and his wife, Amanda Kloots,
believed to be a severe case of pneumonia. Entering the hospital,
they had every reason to believe that Nick-a young father and
otherwise healthy man-would return home. After an eventual
diagnosis of COVID-19 that led to Nick's being placed on a
ventilator, Amanda took to documenting their journey on social
media, showing the dangers COVID-19 posed to everyone, regardless
of age. Her updates quickly captivated millions, inspiring people
around the globe to dance each day to Nick's song "Live Your Life"
and offer positive thoughts and prayer. When he passed away after
ninety-five grueling days in the ICU, the world grieved for Amanda,
her infant son, Elvis, and the future COVID-19 had snatched away
from them. Live Your Life is the story of Nick and Amanda's life
together-of their beautiful relationship, of Nick's dramatic fight
for survival, of those sudden tragic months that permanently
changed her world and ours-and of their interrupted future as a
family. From the confusing early days of his illness to searching
for signs of hope in every update from the doctors to the healing
sound of Elvis's laughter, Amanda details how she approached even
the most devastating moments with the personal optimism and faith
that have shaped her life. Written with her sister Anna Kloots, who
was with her every step of this journey, Live Your Life explores
how Amanda's willingness to accept help from an entire community of
people-friends, family, and even total strangers-played a vital
role in enduring this hardship. In the process, she offers a
touching meditation on how even the worst times have silver linings
that deepen our connections to the world around us and to the
people who matter most. What emerges is an inspiring and
unexpectedly uplifting message for life in the time of COVID, a
vision of courage for anyone coping with overwhelming loss or the
collective trauma of what the pandemic has taken from us. A
poignant reflection on love, hope, motherhood, and the
transformational power of music, Live Your Life is a love letter to
Nick and a reminder that, sometimes, celebrating life today is the
only path through tomorrow's darkness. Live Your Life includes 16
pages of color photos exclusive to the book.
