Wide Angle Lunches - Lee Woodruff - "Trauma and Triumph: What We Can Learn from Military Families"
As co-author of the best-selling In an Instant, Lee Woodruff garnered critical acclaim for the compelling and humorous chronicle of her family's journey to recovery following her husband Bob's roadside bomb injury in Iraq. Appearing together on national television and radio since the February 2007 publication of their book, the couple has helped put a face on the serious issue of traumatic brain injury among returning Iraq war veterans, as well as the millions of Americans who live with this often invisible, but life-changing affliction. They have also founded the Bob Woodruff Foundation, which to date has raised more than $20 million to help veterans successfully reintegrate into their communities and receive critical long-term care.
Woodruff is a contributing reporter for "CBS This Morning" and her best-selling book Perfectly Imperfect A Life in Progress was followed by her first novel, Those We Love Most, which became a New York Times best-seller and won the Washington Irving Book Award for fiction. She has penned numerous personal articles about her family and parenting that have run in such high-profile magazines as Ladies Home Journal, Real Simple, Redbook, and Parade. She lives in Westchester County, NY, with her husband and four children.
