Non-Fiction Biography
New York Times bestselling author and beloved
Today show co-anchor tells the incredible stories of
people who, when faced with impossibly challenging or tragic
life situations, persevere—and even thrive—and asks,
What if you, facing a game-changing event or decision
right now, could see ten years into the
future? Through years of perseverance, purpose,
and passion, Hoda Kotb landed a spot with Kathie Lee on the
Today show, won numerous journalism awards, and
gained valuable life lessons. Now, after captivating readers
in her blockbuster memoir Hoda, she turns to stories
about others who have undergone personal transformation
against great odds. In Ten Years Later,
Hoda chronicles six amazing stories by identifying a
game-changing event in her subjects’ lives and then
revisiting those lives a decade later. We meet Amy Barnes,
who took the leap to escape an abusive relationship, lost an
astounding 340 pounds, and now encourages women like her to
cultivate their mental and physical strength. There’s also
Ron Clifford, a civilian hero of 9/11, who saved the life of
a burn victim in the wreckage of the towers—only to learn
the same day that his beloved sister and niece were
passengers on Flight 175. Patrick Weiland, a former network
producer who won a Peabody at age twenty-two and later
spiraled into drug addition, demonstrates the power of a
second chance. Ten Years Later is a
firsthand testament to the enduring power of the human
spirit. Through inspirational life stories, Hoda shows how
adversity can unleash our best qualities: resilience,
perseverance, gratitude, empathy, and creativity. This book
will inspire you to believe in the future, no matter how
dark the present, and tap into the ability to reach your
highest potential.
