Critics Review

The Next Big Story is a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at reporting and an intimate account of Soledad O’Brien’s personal journey. It’s a terrific read that is both inspiring and thought-provoking.”
-Anderson Cooper

“Soledad is a living example of achieving the American dream. Because a door opened to her family, she has been able to accomplish so many things. Her life story shows that opportunity can create success…and success can create a sense of responsibility that can create opportunities for others. Soledad has paid it forward, cares deeply about the disenfranchised, and brings her unique personal experience to whatever story she may be covering.”
-Katie Couric

“A moving memoir which does justice to the effervescent spirit and unbridled intellectual curiosity of a truly empathetic soul my faithful readers already know just might be the brightest person I’ve had the privilege of interviewing.”
-Kam Williams
