Non-Fiction Memoir
Five nights a week, María Elena Salinas delivers the news to
millions of television viewers. But when the newscast is
over, she is, like so many other women across the country, a
wife and mother who struggles to balance her personal life
and her career. When she accidentally discovers that her
beloved father was at one time a Catholic priest, she is
stunned. All that she knew and had based her life upon is
suddenly thrown into question. Turning her investigative eye
on herself for the first time, she begins a long, arduous
journey for answers. In I Am My Father's Daughter, María Elena tells
the amazing story of her journey to the top amid her
struggle to come to terms with family secrets. From her
childhood in a poverty-stricken Los Angeles neighborhood and
her adolescent years spent working in a southern California
sweatshop to her astonishing break into network television
and her coverage of some of the world's major events and
disasters, María Elena delivers the story of her life behind
the camera, and that of her deceased father, in the same
warm and straightforward tone that has become her on-air
trademark.
