Molly Grantham’s third book is the continuing chronical of how you can love your kids and a career, as told by a woman willing to bare her soul. Her authenticity will make you think about your own path, choices, and ability to be human in our unpredictable and beautiful world.
This book begins in April of 2020, as a pandemic unexpectedly shut things down. Molly, pregnant at the time, found herself teaching fractions to her third grader and listening to her preschooler whine for attention, all while putting on makeup and high heels to report some of the most important headlines of our time, live, to 100,000 people a night. You’d think after two kids and two books, a person would know what they were doing. But that’s the beauty of Practice Makes...Progress. Through the chaos and coffee, Molly shows how perfection isn’t the goal; some days are simply about growth. As Molly relays the Good, the Bad, and the Always Real, she deftly reminds us, you learn as you go no matter the amount of experience behind you, and how it’s crucial to stop and find magic in the mess.
“Molly Grantham’s books demonstrate that not only is she an exceptional news anchor, but she’s a gifted writer as well. Practice Makes… Progress reminds us of the wholly disconcerting and upending times of COVID. Molly’s honesty, rawness, and humor shines through, making this book a delight to read. This book is a warm-hearted page-turner, by a woman who always keeps it real, and is wise and witty to boot.” -Betsy Thorpe, Book Editor and Author
