With hard work, persistence, and grit, Nancy Cox rose through the hierarchy of the newsroom to become one of the most respected and popular anchors in the history of Lexington television. But even after retiring, Nancy still has stories to tell. Rooted in faith, family, and friendship, the lessons Nancy learned growing up in a large farming family in the humble setting of rural Kentucky propelled her to an award-winning career in television journalism, albeit with a brief stopover at the Miss America Pageant.
As a reporter, she never knew what to expect when she headed out to cover a story, from a tragic plane crash that changed national aviation standards, death penalty cases, and elections that had political and sometimes violent consequences, to the lighter but invigorating assignments covering Kentucky Wildcat basketball and twenty-three Kentucky Derbies. What stayed with her after her long career was the human drama she witnessed through the eyes of the heartbroken victims and the survivors of tragedy, as well as the heartening stories of resilience, courage, and triumph of the human spirit that sustained her faith. Honest, reflective, self-deprecating, and sometimes humorous, this memoir offers a rare look behind the scenes of television news while inviting readers to reconsider the media through the eyes of someone who lived its pressures, principles, and profound calling.
