Synopsis

"Regardless of how much money you have, your race, where you live, what religion you follow, you are going through something. Or you already have or you will. As momma always said, "Everybody's got something."

So begins beloved Good Morning America anchor Robin Roberts's new memoir in which she recounts the incredible journey that's been her life so far, and the lessons she's learned along the way. With grace, heart, and humor, she writes about overcoming breast cancer only to learn five years later that she will need a bone marrow transplant to combat a rare blood disorder, the grief and heartbreak she suffered when her mother passed away, her triumphant return to GMA after her medical leave, and the tremendous support and love of her family and friends that saw her through her difficult times.

Following her mother's advice to "make your mess your message," Robin taught a nation of viewers that while it is true that we've all got something -- a medical crisis to face, aging parents to care for, heartbreak in all its many forms --- we've also all got something to give: hope, encouragement, a life-saving transplant or a spirit-saving embrace. As Robin has learned, and what readers of her remarkable story will come to believe as well, it's all about faith, family and friends. And finding out that you are stronger, much stronger, than you think.

Robin Roberts did exactly what her mama told her to do, "Make your mess your message." And, what a message she had to tell. Robin is a strong, positive, faith-filled woman. She sets a fine example for anyone going through difficult times.......more

Goodreads review by Jackie on April 04, 2015

It's impossible to not admire the grit, determination and character with which Robin Roberts has faced (and overcome) daunting health challenges: breast cancer followed by MDS. However, her fame and huge circle of prominent supporters can be both a curse and a blessing as she deals with both illness......more

Goodreads review by Michael on September 06, 2015

Robin Roberts has always been a huge inspiration to my life. In fact, whenever I watch her interview celebrities,she always makes the best effort to make them feel relaxed. I do not know much about her personal life, so this was a huge eye opener. Although I am aware that she had cancer, this book w......more

Goodreads review by Erin on January 19, 2022

Audiobook- I still can’t allow myself to DNF a book, but this should’ve been the first one I did. I don’t watch GMA, I have no vested interest in RR. I read this book as it was on a list of books suggested for women with breast cancer, as I’m compiling a collection for my mom as she goes through her......more
