Non-Fiction Biography
In January 2006, Lee and Bob Woodruff seemed to have it
all–a happy marriage, four beautiful children, and
marvelous careers. Bob had just been named co-anchor of
ABC’s World News Tonight, but then, while he was
embedded with the military in Iraq, an improvised
explosive device went off near the tank he was riding in.
He and his cameraman, Doug Vogt, were hit, and Bob
suffered a traumatic brain injury that nearly killed
him.
In an Instant is the frank and
compelling account of how Bob and Lee Woodruff’s lives
came together, were blown apart, and then were
miraculously put together again–and how they persevered,
with grit but also with humor, through intense trauma and
fear. More than a dual memoir of love and courage, In
an Instant is an important, wise, and inspiring guide
to coping with tragedy–and an extraordinary drama of
marriage, family, war, and nation.
#1 New York
Times Bestseller
“Gripping . . . The Woodruffs’
devotion to each other is palpable. . . . [In an
Instant is] a remarkably lucid, even engrossing story
of . . . Bob Woodruff’s recovery, interwoven with tales
from his marriage and family life.”
–San Jose
Mercury News
“Both Woodruffs [shoot] from the
hip, writing with candor about their ordeal and describing
it with an intimacy that couldn’t be captured on
camera. . . . Their frankness heightens the book’s
impact.”
–The New York
Times
“Extraordinary . . . All sorts of themes
thread their way through this frank, inspiring book:
courage in the face of adversity; the pursuit of career at
the expense of family; the bravery of foreign
correspondents; the fortitude of female friendship. . . .
Woodruff’s survival story comforts.”
–The Seattle
Times
“A testimony to the power of the human
spirit, to the catharsis of love and to infinite
hope.”
–The
Oklahoman
