"What Do I Tell My Daughter? is a brave and searingly honest story that made me think hard about the power and consequences of choice. Katie Trexler's battle-fought wisdom will resonate with women of varying ages who risk—or have risked—sacrificing themselves for others. I'll certainly be giving a copy to my daughter." — Nancy Sharp, author of Both Sides Now: A True Story of Love, Loss and Bold Living 

"A raw, unfiltered gift for our daughters—honest, vulnerable, and deeply relatable."' — Nicolle Davies, Executive Director, Denver Public Library

"What Do I Tell My Daughter? is a deeply moving and unflinchingly honest memoir about the impossible standards working mothers face and the quiet cost of trying to do everything well. Through her journey from news anchor to motherhood, Katie Trexler gives voice to the quiet sacrifices, lingering “what ifs,” and fierce love that define so many women’s experiences. This book stayed with me long after the final page—and it’s one I hope every mother, and daughter, will read." — Michele Clarizio, author of The Price of Truth. A Chasing Peace Novel

"Katie is a brilliant storyteller whose personal journey will resonate with any working mother trying to be the best in their field and the best for their family. A powerful story of humor and heartbreak, soul searching and strength. I couldn’t put this book down." — Ana Cabrera, MS Now Anchor 

"I was incredibly moved by Katie’s memoir and found myself hidden in its pages. It’s a journey of regret and resentment that ultimately leads to self-love, self-forgiveness and self-pride. It’s a beautifully enriching story full of soul-filled life lessons, shared not only for her daughter but for daughters everywhere. In so many ways Katie tells every mother’s story, including mine. We have goals, hopes and dreams that are sidelined for our husbands’ “huge” lives and careers. I can’t wait to share this treasure with my daughters." — Janet Elway McKinnon, Philanthropist

"Katie has written an exceptional and deeply relatable book that speaks to the heart of so many women who navigate the constant pull between professional ambition and motherhood. What Do I Tell My Daughter? is not only well written but is also honest in a way that makes you feel as if you are reading your own story reflected back at you. Katie’s voice, her experiences, and her willingness to be vulnerable create a connection that goes far beyond the page.” —Nikki Brooker, Founder & CEO YANA (You Are Not Alone Mom to Mom)

"What Do I Tell My Daughter? is a brave and deeply human reflection on motherhood, ambition, loss, and self-reclamation. With unflinching honesty and hard-won wisdom, Katie Trexler gives voice to the questions so many women carry silently—and offers not easy answers, but something far more powerful: permission to want more, to choose differently, and to honor the woman behind the role." — Kristin Russell, Tech CEO, President, Board Director, mom of two daughters

"A must-read for any woman. As someone who grew up in Denver and is the same age as Katie, I loved the glimpses into the Denver news community over the years. But what makes this book truly special is how relatable Katie’s story is. Every woman will see a piece of herself in it. She empowers women while fearlessly sharing her most raw and authentic self." — Erica Brookhart, Actor, producer, director and author
