<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> The co-host of "The View" and ABC News senior legal correspondent traces her journey from a biracial child in a South Bronx housing project to a successful and influential Washington, D.C. attorney and journalist. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <p><strong>The Emmy Award-winning legal journalist and co-host of <em>The View</em> Sunny Hostin chronicles her journey from growing up in a South Bronx housing project to becoming an assistant U.S. attorney and journalist in this powerful memoir that offers an intimate and unique look at identity, intolerance, and injustice.</strong><br/></p><p>"What are you?" has followed Sunny Hostin from the beginning of her story, as she grew up half Puerto Rican and half African-American raised by teenage parents in the South Bronx. Escaping poverty and the turbulence of her early life through hard work, a bit of luck and earning academic scholarships to college and law school, Sunny immersed herself in the workings of the criminal justice system. In Washington, D.C., Sunny became a federal prosecutor, soon parlaying her wealth of knowledge of the legal system into a successful career as a legal journalist. She was one of the first national reporters to cover Trayvon Martin's death--which her producers erroneously labeled "just a local story." </p> <p>Today, an inescapable voice from the top echelons of news and entertainment, Sunny uses her platform to advocate for social justice and give a voice to the marginalized. In her signature no-holds-barred, straight-up style, Sunny opens up and shares her intimate struggles with fertility and personal turmoil, and reflects on the high-stakes cases and stories she worked on as a prosecutor and during her time at CNN, Fox News, ABC and The View. Timely, poignant, and moving, <em>I Am These Truths</em> is the story of a woman living between two worlds, and learning to bridge them together to fight for what's right. </p> <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> "I always thought I was drawn to Sunny because of our similar backgrounds. But through her book I realize it's because we're both chameleons who are just trying to fit in. Thank you Sunny for writing a book that can teach even a know it all like me something new and invaluable."--<strong>Don Lemon, CNN News Anchor</strong> <ul> </ul> </br></br>"Sunny Hostin is an inspiring person, and her story is rich with insights into the different worlds and identities she has navigated. There is much to learn from I Am These Truths--for anyone seeking to understand those worlds, and anyone looking to translate life's challenges and complexities into a fierce commitment to justice."--<strong>Ronan Farrow, author of <em>Catch and Kill: </em></strong><em>Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators</em>
