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.
