Joan Lunden discusses her life, career, and new memoir with Charlie Gibson.

Joan Lunden has been a part of the Gibson family for a long time. Her newest memoir, Joan, is an attempt to look back upon the moments of her life, her life that she has lived at an almost breakneck speed. How did she hold down one of the toughest jobs in journalism, raise a bunch of kids and write a bunch of books? What is life like after GMA? She answers all those questions and gets a chance to reminisce with her old partner, Charlie. Join us.
