Biography
Special Heart is a personal story told through the eyes of a popular journalist as he faced the most daunting challenge in his life. Far more frightening than reporting from battlefields and infinitely more momentous than interviewing newsmakers of the day, Bret Baier shares the emotional story of caring for his critically ill newborn son, who underwent three open-heart surgeries and seven angioplasties. After surviving every parent’s worst nightmare, Bret clearly understands what matters most in life. Baier reflects on past challenges as he looks forward with hope, chronicling the steps on his path to national prominence as a television anchor, as well as his unexpected journey into the world of pediatric cardiac disease. One hundred percent of what he receives from the sale of this book is donated to various non-profit pediatric heart causes. Bret Baier is the host of Special Report with Bret Baier on Fox News Channel. He previously worked as the network’s Chief White House Correspondent and Pentagon correspondent.
