Γ―ΒΏΒ½You can tell a womanΓ―ΒΏΒ½s whole life story from the possessions in her jewelry box. Like reading a palm, you can trace the points where her life has intersected with memorable events, people, places, and loves. You can speculate on the essence of her personality, all from what she has accumulated in that box.Γ―ΒΏΒ½Γ―ΒΏΒ½from Perfectly Imperfect In her acclaimed first book, In an Instant, Lee Woodruff, along with her husband, ABC News anchor Bob Woodruff, wrote eloquently and honestly about the struggles they faced together as Bob recovered from a traumatic brain injury sustained in Iraq. Now, with the same candor and clarity, Lee Woodruff chronicles her life as wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend. WoodruffΓ―ΒΏΒ½s deeply personal and, at times, uproariously funny stories highlight such universal topics as family, marriage, friends, and how life never seems to go as planned. On raising teenagers: Γ―ΒΏΒ½Now with a boy and girl on the precipice of serious adolescence, the bathroom door is sealed tighter than a government nuclear testing ground.Γ―ΒΏΒ½ On her changing body: Γ―ΒΏΒ½Over the last ten years my own knees had begun to form those dreaded smiley faces, sagging underneath.Γ―ΒΏΒ½ How she copes with tragedy: Γ―ΒΏΒ½Swimming surrounds me in the velvet wet of a bluish green world where I can dive deep down and sob with no trace.Γ―ΒΏΒ½ Even her sense of style: Γ―ΒΏΒ½IΓ―ΒΏΒ½ve always been more Leave It to Beaver than Sex in the City.Γ―ΒΏΒ½ In a voice that is fresh, irreverently funny, and irresistible, Lee Woodruff traces the quiet moments and memorable events that have shaped her life in progress. Perfectly Imperfect is the testimonial of a woman who embraces the chaos of her surroundings, discovers the splendor of lifeΓ―ΒΏΒ½s flaws, and accepts that perfection is as impossible to achieve as a spotless kitchen floor.
