Lee Woodruff - (Wife of ABC Newsman Bob Woodruff).
My first book In an Instant was co-authored with my husband Bob, the ABC News Anchor who was critically injured in Iraq in 2006. No one was more surprised than we were when it hit number one on the New York Times bestseller list and stayed there for four weeks.
We were proud that the book helped to 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. In the end, people tell me it is a love story; a story about a family, a marriage and a journey to heal. Lee Woodruff knows what makes a wonderful family vacation - the kind that creates lasting childhood memories. She’s a mom and a writer who’s been a spokesperson for Disney’s "Family Fun," and has written articles for national magazines like "Redbook" on family experiences.
Lee will have the results of a new national survey about family travel from Expedia.com. It’s timely and helpful information for families, especially those looking to stretch their travel dollars in a tough economy.
