Non-Fiction Memoir

In Blindsided he chronicles a life characterized by accomplishment and adversity.

As Cohen writes, "This book is about surviving and flourishing, rising above fear and self-doubt and, of course, anger." With honesty and humor, he explores the effects of illness on his relationship with his wife, Meredith Vieira (host of ABC's The View), and their three children. He tackles the nature of denial and resilience, the struggle for emotional health, and the redemptive effects of a loving family. Blindsided is about celebrating life and coping with chronic illness, seen through the lens of one man's inspiring story.
