"In An Instant" by Bob and Lee Woodruff was the book chosen by my book club for December. This is an a dual autobiography of a former news anchor and his wife. The book covers the their youth, their college years, courtship, marriage, children, careers and the traumatic brain injury Bob suffered while covering the war in Iraq. Lee and Bob take turns writing chapters. Lee wrote all the chapters during his five week coma. Some parts were very moving. Their experiences in Tiananmin Square and the head injury proved the most interesting. Imagine having to tell your four children that their father was badly wounded by an explosive device. Imagine bringing 6 year old twins to the ICU to see their daddy when he is in a coma and part of his skull has been removed to relieve the pressure on his brain. Two thumbs up for "In An Instant."
