Publisher's summary

Anchor of the number-one news show on cable, The Kelly File, Fox News Channel's Megyn Kelly writes her much anticipated book, a revealing and surprising memoir detailing her rise as one of the most respected journalists working today. From the values and lessons that have shaped her career to her time at the center of the chaotic 2016 Republican presidential primary, this book offers an inside look at an uncompromising woman's journey to the top of the news business.

In the two and half years since her show, The Kelly File, premiered on the Fox News Channel, Megyn Kelly has cemented her reputation as one of the most respected and hardest hitting journalists in America. Tackling issues from both sides of the aisle, live in prime time five nights a week, Kelly has embraced difficult questions - fearlessly pressing for answers as she redefines the face of news for her more than two million nightly viewers.

Now, in her debut book, Kelly goes behind the scenes of the stories and the storms that have made her one of the most talked about public figures in America. From growing up in a tough-love family where she had to earn her praise to her father's sudden, tragic death while she was still in high school to the news stories that launched her journalism career, Kelly traces the values and experiences - both good and bad - that landed her in the anchor chair.

With the same bold and brave voice that has won her fans across the political divide, she opens up about the controversy that made her a household name, telling her side of Donald Trump's feud with her while sharing never-before-heard details about the infamous first Republican debate, its challenging aftermath, and how she persevered through it all, winning widespread admiration while maintaining her professionalism. Speaking candidly about the career-changing decision that led her to "settle for more" - a motto she credits with leading her to a better life at home and at work - Kelly also discusses how she approaches gender in the workplace, demonstrating how her success is rooted in Steve Martin's old adage: "Be so good they can't ignore you."

Throughout her meteoric career, Megyn Kelly has been a source of fascination and speculation. Men and women, Republicans and Democrats, viewers of Fox News and the network's most diehard detractors have all sought to understand what she stands for and what matters to her. With this deeply personal account of her life, she answers critics and fans alike. At once humorous, uplifting, and revealing, Settle for More offers unparalleled insight into one of the most charismatic and intriguing television personalities in a generation and will be one of the most talked about books from an influential voice unlike any other.

What I saw as Megan's "more"

The "more" isn't fame, money, or talent, it's joy, forgiveness, and a peaceful family life.

I never thought I'd find a hero on Fox News until I read this!

I really enjoyed this book and was very impressed with Megyn Kelly's authenticity and willingness to share deeply personal experiences! I'm impressed with the way she's dealt with bullying time and time again. Kudos!

Any additional comments?

I think Megyn is an interesting and inspiring personality as well as a fearless journalist. And yes, if you are a blind Trump supporter who thinks he can do no wrong and anyone who dares to ask him anything he or you deem "unfair" (which is ridiculous and childish) then of course you will hate this book because you already irrationally hate Megyn. Move on and go buy a book from Hannity or Ingraham if you fall into that camp. If you just want an interesting story about how a smart, successful and a refuses to be bullied woman got where she is by her own hard work and determination, this is a great read (or listen).

Is a great in depth look at this remaekable woman.

This a very compelling listen. Megyn Kelly narrated it herself and did afabulous job.

Didn't want it to end and couldn't put it down.

I want our daughter to read and know that she isn't alone. A powerfully touching and hilariously insightful autobiography.

Boy can I relate.

Having worked in the all male world of corporate aviation, I find Megan Kelly's experiences to be more the norm than the exception sadly. However, Kelly's handling of the situations is commendable and empowering for all women. She is a very positive role model and in inspiration with her strong work ethic and moral convictions. Her story keeps you engaged wanting more and her voice is pleasant and fun. I plan to send it to my grand niece who is 12 and disturbed about the tone of the President elect.

Love the bits of humor.

Interesting to get an inside view of the like behind the face of a journalist icon. I didn't really pay close attention to current events until I started watching Megyn on FOX. Great book.

I'm a new fan of Megyn Kelly

I am a huge Jon Stewart fan so I had an opinion of Megyn Kelly going into the book. While I feel as though she stuck to the "company line" on several things it was nice to hear the positive messages to women and I have a lot of respect for her now. I am a fan of hers now.

For every woman!

loved it! Passed it on to my fifteen year old daughter! I really like how Megyn was raised. it was very similar to my up bringing and how I am raising my own.

A job well done.

Interesting, honest, thought provoking and well written. The fact that it was narrated by the author adds a deeper element of connection. I loved it.
