"When a box from her mother showed up on Katy Tur's doorstep, months into the pandemic and just as she learned she was pregnant with her second child, she didn't now what to expect. The box contained thousands of hours of video - the work of her pioneering helicopter journalist parents. They grew rich and famous for their aerial coverage of Madonna and Sean Penn's secret wedding, the Reginald Denny beating in the 1992 Lost Angeles riots, and O.J. Simpson's notorious run in the white Bronco. To Katy, these family videos were an inheritance of sorts, and a reminder of who she was before she was her own breakout success as a reporter"--Dust jacket flap.

Did not anticipate that the mix between Tur's memorable but volatile childhood and her unremarkable career as a TV journalist would be so uneven. I wanted to better understand her violent, narcissistic father who transitioned into a woman but remained a horrible human being, and less grandstanding about the importance of mainstream media.
