The box contained thousands of hours of video--the work of her pioneering helicopter journalist parents. They grew rich and famous for their aerial coverage of Madonna and Sean Penn's secret wedding, the Reginald Denny beating in the 1992 Los Angeles riots, and O.J. Simpson's notorious run in the white Bronco. To Tur, these family videos were an inheritance of sorts, and a reminder of who she was before her own breakout success as a reporter. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eRough Draft\u003c\/i\u003e, Tur writes about her eccentric and volatile California childhood, punctuated by forest fires, earthquakes, and police chases--all seen from a thousand feet in the air. She recounts her complicated relationship with a father who was magnetic, ambitious, and, at times, frightening. And she charts her own survival from local reporter to globe-trotting foreign correspondent, running from her past. Tur also opens up for the first time about her struggles with burnout and impostor syndrome, her stumbles in the anchor chair, and her relationship with CBS\u003ci\u003e Mornings\u003c\/i\u003e anchor Tony Dokoupil (who quite possibly had a crazier childhood than she did). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIntimate and captivating, \u003ci\u003eRough Draft\u003c\/i\u003e explores the gift and curse of family legacy, examines the roles and responsibilities of the news, and asks the question: \u003ci\u003eTo what extent do we each get to write our own story?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atria\/One Signal Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/02\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781982118198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288","brand":"Katy Tur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42776276205749,"sku":"9781982118198","price":15.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_40741e8c-3e6b-41f8-bc10-c1e01b295b38.jpg?v=1679413106","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/rough-draft-a-memoir-9781982118198","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
