Book Review - Rough Draft: A Memoir by Katy Tur

 

A fascinating follow-up memoir to Katy Tur's first book, Unbelievable: My Front-Row Seat to the Craziest Campaign in American History, about her time on the Trump campaign trail. This book starts with her tumultuous childhood, riding along with both her parents as helicopter reporters in Los Angeles in the 1980s. She and her younger brother viewed the news stories as they were happening. She goes on to write about the start of her own career as a journalist, meeting her husband, and starting their family. It is a very honest and personal account, and a very inspirational read. Highly recommended. I received an advanced reader copy of this book, and am very thankful to the publisher for the opportunity to read and review it.
