GETTING REAL will be a candid, inspirational memoir, part personal story, part guide for others who want to get ahead in life. It will tell the story of her extraordinary life in vivid detail, lessons learned along the way, and how she owes her success to the old fashioned fundamentals of family, faith and hard work. Gretchen Carlson will dive deep into her life as a child prodigy on the violin, her achievement as the first classical violinist to ever win the Miss America crown, and her storied career in television news that followed. She will share the treacherous cultural waters of the subjects she covers and the personalities she interviews as well as offer candid thoughts about her life balancing being a mom and working in cable news.
Gretchen Carlson currently serves as anchor of FOX News Channel’s The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson. She joined the network in June of 2005. Previously, Carlson served as a co-host of FOX & Friends for 8 years.
Carlson is originally from Minnesota. She graduated with honors from Stanford University and also studied at Oxford University in England. She is married to baseball agent Casey Close and the mother of two children.
