EP 584: Carol Lin On Her Journey From the Anchor Desk to a Life Defined By Family, Healing, and a Redefined Sense of Purpose

In Carol Lin's memoir, When News Breaks: A Memoir of Love and War , the jade bracelet on the cover is a powerful symbol of her cultural identity, her relationship with her mother, and the "breaking" of her own life. While the book primarily chronicles her career as a CNN anchor (including being the first to break the news of 9/11), the bracelet represents the personal narrative beneath the headlines. @carollinnow
