Her pregame scenarios tend to also include the possibility that the interview subject might simply make a break for it. This is a book about bravery. I decided to write it because every day I receive messages from viewers asking me how I’m able to fearlessly investigate and interview bad guys. They want to know where my courage comes from. And my answer contradicts everything journalists have been taught. But I’m not a typical journalist—I was never trained in a traditional newsroom. I didn’t receive a journalism degree. I didn’t even finish college. I’d nod and smile. I was part of a bloodline of brave and strong people. I loved being a warrior. It was like having a superpower Mom and I secretly shared.Thank you for listening to me,” Monica said as we hugged. “We did it! And we couldn’t have done it without you and your team.” When we aired the first of our three stories, Monica was able to collect nearly two thousand signatures—more than double what was needed to convene a grand jury. There were rallies and marches for Juliette. There were signs demanding justice for the toddler on store windows and street corners. Messages about Juliette were scrawled on car windows.

Fast forward a few years, and Guerrero has achieved phenomenal success as Inside Edition’s Chief Investigative Correspondent. Her stories have led to arrests, changed federal legislation and policies at Fortune 500 companies, and helped shine a light on crime, scams, child abuse, and even cold case murders. And in the last decade alone, she has won over thirty-five national journalism honors and awards. She didn't get married until she was 39 to a major league baseball player. They were extremely rich with two mansions and a New York City condo. At the same time she was doing the MNF job and does nothing but complain about how bad her life was, how depressed she was, how she considered suicide, etc. This is the most-seen female sports personality in America married to a multimillionaire athlete living in luxury and she wants us to feel sorry for her because her TV boss is screaming in her earbud about her somewhat amateurish network television performance?Every child believes their mother is beautiful. But even as a little girl, I knew there was something different about the way people would stare at my mom. With her full lips, high cheekbones, dark eyes, olive skin, and long brown hair, she stood out from all the other moms in the neighborhood. People would stop her on the street and say, “You look like Sophia Loren.” I’d hold her hand and look up at these strange faces staring at her. I had an urge to protect her from everyone who gazed her way. I could hear the anger in the DA’s voice when he replied, “Don’t give me that ‘for Juliette.’ Do you know how many dead babies I’ve worked on?” Mom and I never spoke about what had happened. And maybe if she had lived beyond her twenty-nine years, the incident would have been just one of many stories about my fierce mom. But this moment has become how I remember my mom—beautiful, strong, and larger than life. She wouldn’t let anyone insult her or her family. As we walked out of the store, I was overcome with pride for this woman whom I would lose in less than a year.
