Life lessons from New York Times bestselling
author and Today show personality Al Roker and his wife,
globetrotting ABC news journalist Deborah
Roberts.
Al Roker and Deborah Roberts have
sixteen Emmy Awards between them. They have covered
everything from the Olympics and the Gulf War to natural
disasters and the AIDS crisis in Africa. Now these two
married journalists and parents have collaborated on the
most personal and important “story” of their
lives.
Been There, Done That is a funny,
heartfelt, and empowering collection of life lessons,
hard-won wisdom, and instructive family anecdotes from Al
and Deborah’s lives, from their parents and grandparents,
and from dear friends, famous and not. Here, Al and Deborah
candidly share childhood obstacles like obesity and growing
up in the segregated south; the challenges and blessings
that come from raising very different kids; hard-won truths
about marriage and career; the illuminating “little things”
that adults can learn from children; and the genuine wisdom
that the elderly can share with a younger
generation.
These are real-life stories told
from every perspective—from parent, spouse, daughter, son,
and friend, stories that every reader can relate to,
appreciate, and share.
