by Linda Ellerbee

TV reporter Linda Ellerbee has been everywhere, and has published two bestselling memoirs detailing her eventful life. Now, in her third, she pauses at the age of 60-something to look back once again. She writes about her childhood in Texas, her trip to Bolivia as a teenager, her stint as a folk-singer and soup-kitchen worker, her rafting adventures, her experiences with cancer, and much more. Many of Ellerbee’s reminiscences center on food, from her mother’s fudge pie to the Vietnamese beef-noodle soup called pho.
