In her new memoir, Miriam blends her work and her personal life in a memoir that has been described as "inspiring" and "intimate."

Speaking about her book, Miriam said, "I started writing this book as an exclusively work memoir, but the work and the personal kept overlapping. I don’t know if that’s because I’m a woman or a mother or both, or none of those reasons. I just know that for my story to be authentic and truthful, I couldn’t simply focus on the work side of my life."

Miriam O'Callaghan is one of Ireland's best-known broadcasters, covering every election, referendum, major controversy, and important public event for TV, and hosting an award-winning radio show. Combining career success, high-octane glamour, and being a mother of eight makes her a truly unique figure in Irish public life.

Miriam discusses the recent RTÉ controversies in her new memoir

In this beautiful and intimate memoir, Miriam reflects on everything from raising eight children and balancing her award-winning career in journalism to the recent RTÉ controversies.

She also writes about the life-changing impact of losing her beloved sister and father in a matter of months, a loss some of us could barely even comprehend.

Miriam includes fascinating insights into a career that has given her a ringside seat to a changing Ireland. Like attending Bobby Sands’ wake even before she was a journalist, and life coming full circle when she championed John Hume to be declared the greatest figure in Irish history.

She describes extraordinary debates, important and heartbreaking conversations with people in the eye of a media storm, and how she goes after and prepares for the big interviews, as well as what happens when things go wrong.

Miriam also addresses the recent RTÉ controversies that cast a shadow over its high-profile presenters, not least herself.

There's no doubt fans of Miriam will adore this authentic and open memoir from one of Ireland's most loved broadcasters.

Her memoir has been nominated in the Biography of the Year category at this year's An Post Book Awards.
