{"product_id":"cokie-a-life-well-lived","title":"Cokie: A Life Well Lived","description":"The\nextraordinary life and legacy of legendary journalist Cokie Roberts—a trailblazer\nfor women—remembered by her friends and family.\nThrough\nher visibility and celebrity, Cokie Roberts was an inspiration and a role model\nfor innumerable women and girls. A fixture on national television and radio for\nmore than 40 years, she also wrote five bestselling books focusing on the role\nof women in American history. She was portrayed on Saturday\nNight Live, name checked on the West Wing, and featured on magazine\ncovers. She joked with Jay Leno, balanced a pencil on her nose for David\nLetterman, and was the answer to numerous crossword puzzle clues. Many dogs,\nand at least one dairy cow, were named for her. When the legendary 1980s Spy\nMagazine ran a diagram documenting all her connections with the\nheadline “Cokie Roberts – Moderately Well-Known Broadcast Journalist or Center\nof the Universe?” they were only half-joking.\nCokie\nhad many roles in her lifetime: Daughter. Wife. Mother. Journalist. Advocate. Historian.\nReflecting on her life, those closest to her remember her impressive mind,\nimpish wit, infectious laugh, and the tenacity that sent her career\nskyrocketing through glass ceilings at NPR and ABC. They marvel at how she\noften put others before herself and cared deeply about the world around her. When faced with\ndaily decisions and dilemmas, many still ask themselves the question, ‘What\nWould Cokie Do?’\nIn this\nloving tribute, Cokie’s husband of 53 years and bestselling-coauthor Steve\nRoberts reflects not only on her many accomplishments, but on how she lived\neach day with a devotion to helping others. For Steve, Cokie’s private life was\nas significant and inspirational as her public one. Her commitment to\ncelebrating and supporting other women was evident in everything she did, and\nher generosity and passion drove her personal and professional endeavors.\nIn Cokie, he has a simple goal: “To tell stories. Some will\nmake you cheer or laugh or cry. And some, I hope, will inspire you to be more like\nCokie, to be a good person, to lead a good life.”\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0062851470\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 31UIVY0007VX_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Roberts, Steven V.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
