Suddenly in the spotlight, 24-year-old Hannah Brown realized that she wasn’t sure what she wanted. After years of competing in beauty pageants, and then starring on The Bachelorette and Dancing with the Stars, she had become incredibly visible. There she was, in her early twenties, with millions around the world examining and weighing in on her every decision. She found herself wondering what it would mean to live on her terms. What it would mean to stop seeking approval from others and decide - for the first time - what it was she wanted from her own life.

When Condé Nast offered Ruth Reichl the top position at America’s oldest epicurean magazine, she declined. She was a writer, not a manager, and had no inclination to be anyone’s boss. Yet Reichl had been reading Gourmet since she was eight; it had inspired her career. How could she say no? This is the story of a former Berkeley hippie entering the corporate world and worrying about losing her soul. It is the story of the moment restaurants became an important part of popular culture, a time when the rise of the farm-to-table movement changed, forever, the way we eat.

In the summer after graduating from college, Suleika Jaouad was preparing, as they say in commencement speeches, to enter “the real world”. She had fallen in love and moved to Paris to pursue her dream of becoming a war correspondent. The real world she found, however, would take her into a very different kind of conflict zone. It started with an itch - first on her feet, then up her legs, like a thousand invisible mosquito bites. Then a trip to the doctor and, a few weeks shy of her 23rd birthday, a diagnosis: leukemia, with a 35 percent chance of survival.

On March 25, 1942, nearly a thousand young, unmarried Jewish women boarded a train in Poprad, Slovakia. Filled with a sense of adventure and national pride, they left their parents' homes wearing their best clothes and confidently waving good-bye. Believing they were going to work in a factory for a few months, they were eager to report for government service. Instead, the young women - many of them teenagers - were sent to Auschwitz. Their government paid 500 Reich Marks (about $200) apiece for Nazis to take them as slave labor. Of those 999 innocent deportees, only a few survived.

Publisher's Summary
Performed by the author featuring original music by Nick Cordero.
Amanda Kloots bravely reflects on love, loss, and life with her husband, Broadway star, and Tony Award nominee Nick Cordero, whose public battle with COVID-19 and tragic death made headlines around the world.
In March 2020, Broadway star and Tony Award nominee Nick Cordero was hospitalized for what he and his wife, Amanda Kloots, believed to be a severe case of pneumonia. Entering the hospital, they had every reason to believe that Nick - a young father and otherwise healthy man - would return home. After an eventual diagnosis of COVID-19 that led to Nick’s being placed on a ventilator, Amanda took to documenting their journey on social media, showing the dangers COVID-19 posed to everyone, regardless of age. Her updates quickly captivated millions, inspiring people around the globe to dance each day to Nick’s song “Live Your Life” and offer positive thoughts and prayer. When he passed away after 95 grueling days in the ICU, the world grieved for Amanda, her infant son, Elvis, and the future COVID-19 had snatched away from them.
Live Your Life is the story of Nick and Amanda’s life together - of their beautiful relationship, of Nick’s dramatic fight for survival, of those sudden tragic months that permanently changed her world and ours - and of their interrupted future as a family. From the confusing early days of his illness to searching for signs of hope in every update from the doctors to the healing sound of Elvis’s laughter, Amanda details how she approached even the most devastating moments with the personal optimism and faith that have shaped her life. Written with her sister Anna Kloots, who was with her every step of this journey, Live Your Life explores how Amanda’s willingness to accept help from an entire community of people - friends, family, and even total strangers - played a vital role in enduring this hardship. In the process, she offers a touching meditation on how even the worst times have silver linings that deepen our connections to the world around us and to the people who matter most.
What emerges is an inspiring and unexpectedly uplifting message for life in the time of COVID, a vision of courage for anyone coping with overwhelming loss or the collective trauma of what the pandemic has taken from us. A poignant reflection on love, hope, motherhood, and the transformational power of music, Live Your Life is a love letter to Nick and a reminder that, sometimes, celebrating life today is the only path through tomorrow’s darkness.

Beautiful, sweet, heartbreaking
I was actually too scared to follow Nick’s journey in real-time. COVID had made my sister, who lives in Italy, so sick, that I had a mental break in March of 2020.
This story is so beautiful, and hearing Amanda deliver it without holding back emotion was the best way to hear this story.
However, it may make a lot of people upset. Those who had sick or dying family members in the hospital unable to visit them. Those who could not afford a private doctor, those who did not have direct access to so many other doctors that were 100% focused on their loved one, those who had friends and connections in high places that gave them opportunities the rest of us could never even conceive of in 2020.
This is an inspiring and gut-wrenching story told from a place of love & gratitude but also immense privilege. I laughed, I cried, but I also cringed thinking of the hundreds of thousands of other COVID patients and their families and their experience with losing their loved one versus this experience. Amanda does acknowledge the privilege here & there, but it felt more of a toss-in than a real understanding & true appreciation of “it’s not what you know, it’s WHO you know.”
I still recommend this book. It captures life in the time of COVID and does indeed show the amazing power of love, faith, and family.

Grace in Tragedy
Like so many people, I have followed Nick and Amanda’s story since it was first in the media. I was always amazed with the grace, strength and positivity she showed throughout the most difficult time in her life. I thought I knew their story, but after listening to Amanda tell her story in her own words, I am even more amazed.
It is such a beautiful display of grace in tragedy, from how she interacted with the doctors and staff at the hospital, to how she made sure Elvis never felt that anxiety or sadness. She and Nick will forever be in my heart.

Privilege
I am grateful that Amanda realizes the privilege she was afford while Nick was ill. If you or a family member have faced or are facing an ongoing medical crisis this is a very hard book to read, because the central theme of the story is privilege and that is so hard to miss when you are living on the other side of it. I hope that now as an author, tv personality, influencer and more Amanda can not only acknowledge how privilege played a role in her experiences, but bring awareness and change to those that are fighting the same or similar battles everyday that do not have the privilege of friends in high places, fans with lots of money and more. This story shows glimpses of a frustrating and broken healthcare system, now imagine if you were faced with that without the private medical team, a doctor on call 24/7, a huge gofundme account, and all of the amazing attention, support and help that this tragic story garnered.

Incredible story of love and loss
I followed Amanda on Instagram throughout Nick’s time in the hospital and would look for her updates throughout the day just hoping for her miracle. I so appreciate her sharing the good times with the hard through her grieving process.
Like another reviewer, I was wondering what more would be revealed since she was so candid on Instagram and like the other person, I am blown away by everything that she went through. We should all be so lucky to have a strong support system in our darkest days.

Beautiful! Soulful! A book of this time but also timeless!
Amanda Kloots along with her sister, Anna Kloots, have shared a story of love, loss and life after loss so honestly and bravely. At a time of such devastating sorrow they have created something beautiful and transformative. I laughed and cried alongside them on this journey. This is essentially an uplifting book because there is grace- the ability to see the goodness in life and people and a faith in what we can’t see but know is there - eternally. Love.

A powerful story of love, loss, family and positivity. I’m so glad the author narrated this herself. Her authentic emotions coming through in her own voice was so powerful, nobody else could have narrated this book. I laughed with her, felt her frustrations, and bawled my eyes out. I’ll continue to follow her and Elvis’ story on Instagram and pray for healing for her and her family. So glad I bought this audiobook!

I followed Amanda and Nick’s journey last year and was amazed by the grace and poise Amanda demonstrated throughout such a painful time. The book was excellently written, truthful, raw and honest. Thank you, Amanda and Anna, for blessing us with this story of love, loss and hope. I don’t think anyone will ever understand why Nick had to go, but the impact he’s had on the world will reverberate for generations. Now if that’s not a rockstar legacy, I don’t know what is.

I followed Amanda’s story throughout lockdown. Hearing the behind the scenes of the Instagram stories is heartbreakingly beautiful. Hearing the memories is so so beautiful. They lift you up just when you are about to cry. This book is a testament of why is important in life: love, family, friendship, hope, faith, silver linings: to choose joy and positivity everyday even when things look impossible: especially when things look impossible.

I followed this story on Instagram and was so inspired by Amanda and devastated by what covid was doing to a vibrant, young father and husband.
There is so much more to the story. Thank you for sharing Amanda. Live your life.

Incredibly moving and inspiring
Like many, I followed Amanda, Elvis, and Nicks life on social media last year. I have always thought Amanda’s positivity and tenacity is amazing and inspiring, and listening to this book just solidifies that as fact for me. Your story inspires me to take nothing for granted, to think positively and to love and embrace my family and friends harder everyday. LIVE YOUR LIFE.

A beautiful story of love, loss and the power of compassion and positivity.
I started following the Kloots sisters when I first heard about Nick’s hospitalisation. I thought it was important to hear Amanda’s voice tell her story so I chose the audio version. This book is so beautifully written. Amanda’s strength and faith helped her through a truly devastating loss. The stories of the incredible kindness and compassion of Family members, friends and strangers from around the world is truly inspiring and heartwarming. This book is a Must read. RIP Nick Cordero

Heart wrenching and disappointing
I like many others had drawn to Nick's story from the news, so when the book came out I was keen to read it. I thought it would be a relatable account of what happened over the initial months of the pandemic. Disappointingly, it was not. Amanda was a celebrity and had the privileges that many did not such as spending so much time with her husband in the hospital, having nurses be available to face time, Zac Braff to arrange for Nick's family to enter the USA from Canada, gifts being sent daily, Jennifer Love Hewitt paying for her sons 1st birthday party and the list goes on. Most people didn't have any of that. At times I found it difficult to read as she sounded so entitled and not to mention the displays of toxic positivity by dancing around Nick in his room to encourage him to wake up. Don't get me wrong, it was a horrific thing for someone to go through, but I wished she was more humble.

I wholeheartedly recommend.
The story of Amanda and Nick, their love their life together is truly beautiful.
Hearing how Amanda fought to save her husband was truly special.
Her grace, strength, optimism and love is evident.
The writing and audio is outstanding.
I loved listening to their truly magical and also heartbreaking story.

This book has changed my life
What an incredible book, I cried and laughed so much I felt like I went through this journey with Amanda and her whole family.
As a nurse, this has taught me so much and as a person that was always too scared to chase my dreams, it’s given me the boost I needed. I also approach each obstacle with positivity and gratitude! Thank you AK for this book! Thank you nick! ❤️❤️❤️

Heartbreaking and heartwarming
I’d been following the story like many others during the midst of the pandemic last year but like Amanda & Anna have mentioned, didn’t quite know the full story. The book is full of heartbreaking moments but also heartwarming moments. You feel a part of their story, what they went through is perfectly interwoven with memories from throughout their love story. It was a wonderful listen, keep the tissues at the ready, Amanda tells it beautifully and sometimes it’s as if she’s narrating it at the moment it happened, her emotions are palpable. Worth the listen, you’ll smile and laugh too!
