![]() second book therefore tells a story she had spent her adult life avoiding: the story of her childhood. Schooled as a toddler from the helicopter, she’s exactly the reporter you want out in the field doing special reports, not seated behind a desk at 2 p.m. Her Trump coverage was eerily prescient, but because the political pundits at NBC didn’t take Trump seriously, they forced Tur to second-guess herself. With her sharp eye and intelligence, she seems wasted behind that damned desk. And despite a second memoir just shy of 40, she seems low-maintenance for a TV anchor. Conscious that she eschewed a personal life while on the campaign trail, she’s startlingly frank about her need for a partner who wants children and about timing her first pregnancy so she can cover the 2020 election afterward. Tur is especially on point at discussing the competing forces of career and motherhood. And when she meets and then marries the CBS Mornings co-anchor Tony Dokoupil - with whom she bonds over his own complicated father, an illegal drug entrepreneur - you want to cheer. But Tur handles her family drama so wryly that you’re in safe hands it never veers into melodrama. ![]() ![]() Like the Trump campaign, it’s a hell of a story. ![]()
