My Story, My Song: Mother-Daughter Reflections on Life and Faith - Paperback

by Lucimarian Roberts (Author), Missy Buchanan (As Told to)

My Story, My Song is the heartwarming memoir of 88-year-old Lucimarian Tolliver Roberts, mother of Good Morning America coanchor Robin Roberts. It details pivotal moments in Mrs. Roberts' intriguing life, revealing how faith in God has given her strength and hope.

Good Morning America viewers have come to know and love Lucimarian Tolliver Roberts. For many, the heartfelt connection began the day after Hurricane Katrina blew through the Gulf Coast. They watched as Robin stood among the remnants of her hometown and talked about her desperate search for her elderly mother, who had ridden out the storm in her Mississippi home.

Robin writes, "Folks are drawn to Mom's humility, wisdom, and spirituality." Reflections from Robin on her mother's life and faith cap each chapter.

"God has brought the most wonderful and sometimes the most unlikely people, of all ages and races, into my life to encourage and guide me on this spiritual journey of life," Mrs. Roberts says with bright eyes.

ENDORSEMENTS

"This book is a beam of light, just like the author herself. So much hope and healing and a song to lift up every heart. I promise you, if there is ever an eclipse of the sun, no one will notice it if Lucimarian is around. She brings all things bright and beautiful into the room."

Diane Sawyer, Emmy Award-winning journalist

"Being the daughter of a phenomenal mother, I know Robin Roberts became who she is because she is the daughter of Lucimarian Roberts. This book must be read by every woman who wants to raise a daring daughter who dares to face life fully with enthusiasm and an adventurous spirit."

Dr. Maya Angelou, poet and best-selling author

"I have always believed in the power of music, and when you put that together with a good story, I am hooked! Thank you to Lucimarian Roberts for sharing her life's journey with us. And, oh, what a story--growing up with an alcoholic father, dealing with racial prejudice, raising four children, and married for 57 years to a Tuskegee Airman! This story is an inspiring and poignant example of what really matters in life."
