Raised largely by her father and her paternal grandmother, Award-winning journalist and co-host of CBS Saturday Morning Michelle Miller had no knowledge of the woman whose genes she shared. Then, fate intervened when Michelle was twenty-two. As her father lay stricken with cancer, he told her, “Go and find your mother.”
In her candid new book Belonging she chronicles her decades-long quest to connect with the woman who gave her life, to confront her past, and ultimately, to find her voice. “Belonging is my witness,” Miller says. “In its simplest terms, it is the story of one woman’s search for herself .” A lifelong quest that would shape her voice as a Black woman in white newsrooms. What emerges is an intimate story about secrets—secrets we keep, secrets we share, and the secrets that make us who we are.
