Summary:
"Cookie Johnson, wife of NBA legend Earvin "Magic" Johnson, shares details of her marriage, motherhood, faith, and how an HIV diagnosis twenty-five years ago changed the course of their lives forever. On November 7, 1991, basketball icon Magic Johnson stunned the world with the news that he was HIV-positive. Twenty-five years later, Cookie Johnson shares her story and the emotional journey that started on that day - from life as a pregnant and joyous newlywed to one filled with the fear that her husband would die, she and her baby would be infected with the virus, and their family would be shunned. The story of her marriage to Earvin - nearly four decades of loving each other, losing their way, and eventually finding a path they never imagined. It has been a quarter-century since the announcement and Cookie's survival and triumph as a wife, mother, and God-fearing woman. Believing in Magic is Cookie's story"--Provided by publisher.
