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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eConnie: A Memoir\u003c\/span\u003e, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\"This delightful memoir is filled with Connie Chung’s trademark wit, sharp insights, and deep understanding of people.
