ABC Journalist Bob Woodruff was on top of his career when he was selected to be the co-anchor of ABC’s World News Tonight, replacing legendary news anchor Peter Jennings. With the love and support of his wife and four children, he felt as though the world was his for the taking.

While covering a news story in Iraq, Bob’s world went spinning out of control when an explosive device went off nearby the tank he was riding in. The devastating blow left him with a brain injury which put him in coma for five weeks.

During Bob’s time of recovery, his wife Lee decided to keep a journal of each day Bob lay in coma. She knew her husband would want to know what he missed during his recovery period.

Through the pages of Lee’s journal, we discover words telling of a beautiful union between Bob and Lee. The day finally arrived when Bob opened his eyes but, still, the road to being rehabilitated would be a long, slow, uphill journey - one he would not travel alone.

Lee and her kids never left Bob’s side, even in the darkest days of his recovery period. They offered him the strength and encouragement to conquer all that he was enduring. Their positive, uplifting spirit was assured to be the medicine he needed to recovery in record time.

In an Instant: A Family's Journey of Love and Healing is truly a remarkable story of inspiration. There is no way readers will be able to read this book and not experience the heartfelt emotions revolving around this courageous family. Seeing how Lee and Bob were able to live through such a tragedy is one heartwarming experience. Very highly recommended.
