From the Inside Flap
A true story both heartbreaking and redemptive
Hattie Kauffman has interviewed presidents, Oscar winners, astronauts, and Olympians. She’s covered wildfires and murder trials and delved into personal interest stories. But while she uncovered the stories behind big personalities and events, her own story remained untold.
In this beautifully written memoir, you’ll get an inside look into the events that shaped this remarkable woman who thought she’d left the ghosts of childhood behind her. But when her world came crashing down one autumn day, she was forced to face all that she had been running from. What she learned about herself surprised her.
She was never alone in her flight and, indeed, had never needed to run in the first place.|Hattie Kauffman made history as the first Native American journalist to ever file a report on a national network evening news broadcast, and she has over two decades of experience as an on-camera correspondent and news anchor for ABC and CBS. She is a member of the Nez Perce Tribe of Idaho and is also a speaker and writer.
