Story of My Life

Imagine being invited to tell your life story, with the possibility of a book deal. That’s what happened with Story of My Life, a national search for the next best selling memoir that I dreamed up and brought to ABC News. 8,000 entries later (all read in my basement with family and friends), An Afghani Girl on the Other Side of the Sky became a New York Times Bestseller and shed light on a war-torn part of the world that few Americans experience, all from the perspective of a 17 year old.
