Kathie Lee Gifford opens her life story at her Chesapeake Bay childhood, where she first sensed God's voice calling her toward something greater. She takes readers through her meteoric rise to fame alongside Regis Philbin, then to her years cohosting the fourth hour of the Today show with Hoda Kotb. When many expected her to settle into retirement, Gifford made a surprising choice. She walked away from television success to pursue music in Nashville. Her memoir reveals the spiritual foundation that guided each major decision. Gifford argues that divine dreams planted in our hearts don't expire with age. She shares personal stories of forgiveness, unexpected adventures like learning the cha-cha, and discovering ways to make meaningful impact. The book addresses readers facing their own crossroads, whether dealing with empty nest syndrome, divorce, career shifts, or simply yearning for change. Gifford's central message challenges the assumption that our best years lie behind us. She demonstrates how listening for God's guidance can lead to surprising new chapters filled with purpose and joy.
