About the Book

" ... Shannon Bream has spent her entire adult life navigating high-pressure environments where perfection is expected and competition is the name of the game.

Book Synopsis

From the host of Fox News @ Night, a deeply personal book about finding purpose and growth amid life's unpredictability.

"What a gift this book will be to your soul."--Lysa TerKeurst

Whether it's her work today as a reporter and host for Fox News, her years in law school, or the time she spent competing in pageants like Miss America, Shannon Bream has spent her entire adult life navigating high-pressure environments where perfection is expected and competition is the name of the game. But in this laugh-out-loud book of stories and inspiration, Shannon shares the moments away from the cameras and the halls of government, in which she learned that the values and faith of her blue-collar upbringing could keep her grounded in a world where everyone wants you to be something other than who you are.

In Finding the Bright Side, Shannon continues a conversation about authenticity, humility, and trusting in God that she's already begun with her followers on social media. She shares behind-the-scenes stories from Washington, D.C., revelations from her time reporting on the Supreme Court, and lessons learned from the most challenging moments of her life--from the time she was fired from her first job and told, "You're the worst person I've ever seen on TV," to the time she heard "There is no cure." But through all of this, faith (and a little bit of stubbornness!) has helped Shannon to keep hope, find purpose in the pain, and find laughs along the way.

"It's hard to imagine a person who's simultaneously wholesome and sophisticated, yet somehow Shannon Bream is both. Her life makes for a great story, not to mention a lesson for the rest of us. It's not that she's had it easy. She just glides over the potholes with such grace that it looks that way. This is an awesome book."--Tucker Carlson, host of Tucker Carlson Tonight and bestselling author of Ship of Fools

"What a gift this book will be to your soul. My friend, Shannon, has a fascinating, sometimes devastating, story that she's chosen to make completely delightful. The way life twists and turns with the unexpected and unpredictable, can leave some of us feeling disillusioned and fighting against the way things turn out. This page turning read will remind you that with God, there's always beauty to be discovered, and teach you how to look for it in your own story."--Lysa TerKeurst, bestselling author of Uninvited and It's Not Supposed to be This Way, president of Proverbs 31 Ministries
