Publisher's summary

Before becoming America's first-ever female network chief meteorologist or appearing on Dancing with the Stars, ABC News's Ginger Zee checked herself into a mental health hospital.

Natural Disaster: I Cover Them. I Am One. is Ginger's heartbreaking, hilarious, and harshly honest life story - from Dickhead's (you won't soon forget that name) deck on Lake Michigan to her storm-chasing dream at ABC News.

Ginger opens up about her lifelong battle with crippling depression, her romances that ranged from misguided to dangerous, and her tumultuous professional path. This cyclone of stories may sound familiar to some - it's just that Ginger's personal tempests happened while she was covering some of the most devastating storms in recent history, including a ferocious tornado that killed a legend in the meteorology field.

She also canceled her first wedding - twice - because she finally listened to her inner voice, which was saying, This isn't right, but then she happened to fall in love with her gay best friend. Yes, twice. Yes, gay.

On the sunny side, this book is for all the mistake makers who have learned to forgive others and themselves - even in the aftermath of man-made, or in this case Ginger-made, disasters. It's a story that every young woman should read, a story about finding love in the world and finding it in yourself.

Beloved by Good Morning America's audience, Ginger is a daily presence for millions. She's gained fame for her social media presence, which is as unfiltered as Natural Disaster - from baby barf to doggy doo-doo. She's shattered the glass ceiling for women in meteorology but admits here first she's the one natural disaster she couldn't have forecast.

Outstanding in Both Ways

Ginger Zee has written an amazing book that allows you to pull back the curtain and see how her life has truly been. It's not just what one assumes from TV.

It is read by Ginger with sincere storytelling. She should add reading for Audible, for those who don't read their own books to her busy schedule. I wish I could listen to Ginger read more books.

You'll be missing out if you don't hear this book!!

Brave, candid & delightful

It feels as if Ginger is sitting on the sofa candidly sharing some of the most challenging times of her life with the listener. Her strength comes from her vulnerability. She is courageous and infectious and has a great deal to teach others about relationships, career choices and most importantly self-love. An inspiration to so many!

Loved it

A quick listen. Ginger’s story is very relatable and entertaining for a late 20s girl.

Not what I expected

I knew of Ginger Zee from her time in Chicago and chasing storms with Reed Timmer, but listening to her story shocked me. I never would have guessed she went through so many struggles and came through to the other side. Its a story of struggle, laughter and a lot of craziness . So glad she survived and thrived!

So thankful I discovered this book

I loved Gingers authentic story telling as well as how she brought it all to life in her reading of it.

I didn’t know any of her story beforehand and I’m thankful she is sharing it with the world!

Ignore the other reviews!

True, this book is NOT one to teach you how to deal with depression, but is a genuine glimpse into the life of someone we see as having it "all together". Ginger Zee embraces her disastrous side and shows us how to come to terms and function through the disasters in our own lives.

Great advice!! Nice to hear everyone can struggle

Great to listen to the author & feel her reality check. Just because someone is famous doesn't mean they are perfect. I admire her sharing it all!! Thanks Ginger..
