Ten Things I Wish I‘d Known

When Holy Cross College invited NBC News correspondent Maria Shriver to give the 1998 commencement address, she almost refused. Although she is a niece of President John F. Kennedy, she was afraid of giving speeches. But to her audience’s benefit, she changed her mind. This charming little book is her response to the flood of requests she received after her speech aired on C-SPAN. In an expanded version, she explores each of her “10 things” through commentary and illustrative experiences from her pesonal life and decades-long career as a network news journalist. Intimate, clever, funny and wise, this life lessons book is also an insider look at the media. This smartly written book will please anyone interested in a quick but satisfying read, especially media and (or) celebrity junkies.
