Biography: general; Memoirs; Media, information & communication industries

From top CNN anchor and special correspondent Soledad O'Brien comes

a highly personal look at her biggest reporting moments from Hurricane

Katrina, the tsunami in Southeast Asia, the devastating Haiti

earthquake, and to the historic 2008 U.S. elections and high profile

interviews with everyday Americans. Drawing on her own unique

background as well as her experiences at the front lines of the most

provocative issues in today's society, and from her work on the

acclaimed documentaries Black in America and Latino in

America, O'Brien offers her candid, clear-eyed take on where we are

as a country and where we're going.

What emerges is both an inspiring message of hope and a glimpse into

the heart and soul of one of America's most straight-talking reporters.

Reviews for The Next Big Story: My Journey Through the Land of Possibilities

The Next Big Story is a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at reporting and an intimate account of Soledad O'Brien's personal journey. It's a terrific read that is both inspiring and thought-provoking. -Anderson Cooper Soledad is a living example of achieving the American dream. Because a door opened to her family, she has been able to accomplish so many things. Her life story shows that opportunity can create success...and success can create a sense of responsibility that can create opportunities for others. Soledad has paid it forward, cares deeply about the disenfranchised, and brings her unique personal experience to whatever story she may be covering. -Katie Couric A moving memoir which does justice to the effervescent spirit and unbridled intellectual curiosity of a truly empathetic soul my faithful readers already know just might be the brightest person I've had the privilege of interviewing. -Kam Williams
