In Ginger Zee’s follow-up to the bestselling Natural Disaster, the ABC chief meteorologist takes readers on a much deeper journey of self discovery.
When Ginger Zee opened her life to readers in Natural Disaster, the response was enormous. She put a very relatable if surprising face on depression and has helped lessen the stigma surrounding mental health issues. But Ginger tells us, Natural Disaster was “Ginger Lite” and only scratched the surface.
In this moving follow-up, Ginger shares her truest self. She spent most of her life shielding her vulnerabilities from the world all while being a professional people pleaser. Her stormy childhood, her ongoing struggles with crippling depression, her suicide attempts, and many other life experiences
will resonate with readers who are likely to see themselves along the way.
In spite of its serious subject matter, Ginger’s positive, life-affirming outlook comes through loud and clear. Written with great heart and quite a bit of humor, Ginger normalizes issues and challenges millions of people face every day. A Little Closer to Home will broaden the conversation around mental health at a time we need it more than ever.

My Review:
I’ll admit I haven’t read Ginger’s first memoir, but I just love reading about others and gaining insight into lives lived differently from mine.
What a candid and frank inside track into her life. She recounts the major events that have shaped her mental health and no topic is off limits. The memories are intense at times and range from her parents’ divorce, anorexia, drinking, rape, abortion, to two suicide attempts. All the things we hide in today’s world where we only show the best side of ourselves. She humanizes depression and her mental health and isn’t afraid to share all of her ups and downs.
While she is a public figure and so much of her life is on display, I appreciate her honesty in the book. And while some of these issues have become very political in the past few years, she isn’t attempting a political discussion in her description of these events.
I think if you’re a fan of hers, you will love this book. And anyone that has dealt with their own mental health will appreciate her journey.
