Details

May Lee proves that she is a true fighter with intense passion for what she believes in. Her own transformation from a shy, little girl to intrepid journalist and now entrepreneur shows us all that when intentions are genuine, anything is possible even in an industry as tough as the media. Anyone who reads her story will, undoubtedly, be inspired to follow their passion regardless of obstacles that stand in the way in order to realize their dreams. - Geraldine Laybourne

May Lee is an inspiration. She's a woman who not only has had big, bold dreams, but the courage to pursue them. I loved this book-Sex and the City meets Broadcast News. If I could have even one of the many adventures May's had, my life would be a heck of a lot more interesting! - Paul Starke

You will be drawn in, as I was, by this very personal story showing May Lee's passion and perseverance, in the face of may doubts and disappointments, in the television industry in the U.S. and Asia. The book gives a unique behind-the-camera look at May's first job as an intern at a U.S. local TV station to becoming a well-known TV anchor and as she continues her journey as a media entrepreneur. - Michelle Guthrie

As a fellow Korean-American, I am thrilled to see May Lee succeed not just as a pioneer in broadcast television, but as an Asian woman who is constantly striving to stretch her limits and inspire others to do the same. This must-read book has it all...honesty, hope, heartbreak, humor and, most importantly, passion. I'm extremely fortunate to have had the chance to meet and work with May on a professional level, and very proud to call her a friend. - Daniel Henney

A heartfelt and sometimes brutally candid view of one woman's life in the competitive business of TV news. May Lee's writing is bold and honest as is she. - Eunice Yoon
