EVERYBODY'S GOT SOMETHING

This follow-up to TV news anchor Roberts’s previous audiobooks offers personal growth principles abstracted from her experiences. She has a deep, athletic-sounding voice that sounds consistently clear but not as spontaneous as she appears in her television work. The assertiveness in her voice works well to express the determination she had to summon when facing a life-threatening disease that required a bone marrow transplant in 2012. Her fans will enjoy the chatty narratives about her celebrity life and medical travails that dominate this memoir. What everyone facing a health challenge will savor is how Roberts uses her grounding in Southern culture to remind us of the importance of gratitude, hope, and strong connections with family members.
