Lee Woodruff Perfectly Imperfect

   Whether pretending to like that tacky (if well-intentioned) gift from her husband or being stuck with a 5:00am dog walk (even though her kids promised they’d do it) Lee Woodruff is the first to tell you that her life is far from perfect in her book,  Perfectly Imperfect: A Life in Progress(Random House Trade Paperback, on sale 4/6). Woodruff’s deeply personal and, at times, uproariously funny stories highlight such universal topics as family, marriage, friends, and how life never seems to go as planned. From raising teenagers to how she copes with tragedy, Perfectly Imperfect: A Life in Progress is the testimonial of a woman who embraces the chaos of her surroundings, discovers the splendor in life’s flaws, and accepts that perfection is as impossible to achieve as a spotless kitchen floor.

Among other topics,  Perfectly Imperfect: A Life in Progresscovers:

• What not to wear when meeting the President of the United States
• The latest information and status of what our government and private organizations are doing to help the injured veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with TBI
• The lessons Lee has learned through tragedy and recovery--her own and the stories of others--and her list of 10 very honest tips to consider if someone you know is facing a life-changing trauma
• How her favorite Lanz nightgown at long last met its demise
• Confessions of a non-sports Mom
• Helping to care for her elderly parents

About the Author:

As co-author of the # 1 New York Times 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 founded the Bob Woodruff Foundation (ReMind.org) to assist wounded service members and their families receive the long-term care that they need and help them successfully reintegrate into their communities.

Woodruff is a contributing editor for ABC’s Good Morning America, reporting on a variety of home and family related topics.  Her second book is Perfectly Imperfect: A Life in Progress 

Woodruff lives in Westchester County, New York, with her husband and four children.
