Live Your Life: My Story of Loving and Losing Nick Cordero

The beloved TV host reflects on love, loss, and life with her husband, Broadway star Nick Cordero, who tragically died from COVID-19.

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 a diagnosis of COVID-19, Nick was placed on a ventilator, and Amanda began sharing their difficult journey on social media. When he passed away after ninety-five grueling days in the ICU, the world grieved for Amanda, her infant son, Elvis, and the beautiful future that COVID-19 had snatched away from them.

Live Your Life is the story of Nick and Amanda’s life together and his dramatic fight for survival. 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.

Live Your Life includes sixteen pages of color photos exclusive to the book.
