by Ginger Zee
First published 2017
Ginger Zee chronicles her journey from a weather-obsessed girl in small-town Michigan to becoming ABC News chief meteorologist. She reveals her ongoing struggle with severe depression while navigating misguided and dangerous romantic relationships. Her professional climb proved equally turbulent as she worked to establish herself in meteorology. Throughout her career, she covered catastrophic storms, including a devastating tornado that claimed the life of a meteorology legend. Zee candidly examines her mistakes and the process of learning self-forgiveness. She describes breaking barriers for women in meteorology while maintaining an unfiltered social media presence that resonates with millions of Good Morning America viewers. The memoir explores themes of finding love both with others and within oneself. Zee ultimately recognizes herself as the one unpredictable force she never saw coming.
