Resumen del Editor

In Ginger Zee's follow-up to the best-selling Natural Disaster, the ABC chief meteorologist takes listeners on a much deeper journey of self discovery.

When Ginger Zee opened her life to listeners in Natural Disaster, the response was enormous. She put a very relatable if surprising face on depression and has helped lessen the stigma surrounding mental health issues. But Ginger tells us, Natural Disaster was "Ginger Lite" and only scratched the surface.

In this moving follow-up, Ginger shares her truest self. She spent most of her life shielding her vulnerabilities from the world all while being a professional people pleaser. Her stormy childhood, her ongoing struggles with crippling depression, her suicide attempts, and many other life experiences will resonate with listeners who are likely to see themselves along the way.

In spite of its serious subject matter, Ginger's positive, life-affirming outlook comes through loud and clear. Written with great heart and quite a bit of humor, Ginger normalizes issues and challenges millions of people face every day. A Little Closer to Home will broaden the conversation around mental health at a time we need it more than ever.

Good book except for the expletives..not needed.

This book would have been exceptional except for all the nasty expletives that lent nothing to the story not needed to tell her story.

Incredible Read

Ginger did a tremendous job of laying “her feelings” bare. I believe that anyone who reads or listens to this book will benefit, especially if they will be honest about themselves. She laid out a path for us to understand ourselves and gave one tools if they will follow them. Was very touched by her willingness to share her life story, Thanks, Ginger Zee!!

Ginger is a badass!

This is a very important book!
Thank you for speaking out about such personal subjects. You are changing lives!

Ginger is open truthful and supportive

It’s so hard to deal with depression and anxiety alone. Add in being drugged and taken advantage of more than once and an abortion that still haunts you and anyone would have an incredibly hard time surviving forget thriving.

Ginger shares what she’s been through beyond her first book. I was near tears many times while listening to the audiobook and thinking how close the world came to losing an amazing woman.

Thanks to Ginger for sharing her story and reminding us that we aren’t alone.

Strength and hope

I have found Ginger’s books such an emotional and inspiring journey. She is brave beyond words and I believe she is helping so many people by sharing her story.

Truth, so refreshing

This is a tough story to hear at times but Ginger is so open and transparent. Lots of lessons to take away. So glad she shared her story. Much respect!

Loved this book!!

So inspirational. I wish I had a friend like Ginger. Women have been silent for too long. ❤️

A Little Closer to Home

I loved this book and recommend for everyone to take the time and read or listen. I listened to Ginger Zee read the book and it was so soothing it even made me cry. Thank you!

Great story

This is a great story, about being brave and honest. To both herself and the listeners. I heard myself in this book so much as I am sure so many others have. I know that when I watch Ginger on GMA, I have an all new respect for her. Not just on what she has been though, as many of us have stories that we can relate to, or have been us, or anywhere in between, but for telling her story so eloquently and truthfully to help others as well has herself. Hats off to you Ginger, I hope you enjoy and feel all the happiness life has to offer you.

Awesome Book

I loved her first book and this one was even better. I appreciate her transparency.
