On Oct. 2, my husband Dale and I hosted a brunch, book event and interview with Ainsley Earhardt, co-host of FOX News Channel’s “Fox & Friends” and author of the bestselling novel, “I Am So Glad You Were Born,” and FOX News’ Sean Hannity, at our home in Sawgrass Country Club.
Earhardt has written three best-selling novels, and this event sold out within days of sending out invitations to friends in our community. More than 275 books were pre-sold and all who attended had the opportunity to meet this New York Times bestselling author and “Fox & Friends” co-host and do some early Christmas shopping.
Ainsley and Sean posed for photos, greeted everyone and gave a wonderful talk on a beautiful Florida day in a perfect outdoor setting. This genuine and natural speaker made quite a connection to her audience as she responded to questions in the interview from Sean about her life, her daughter and her spiritual journey on the way to her career as an award-winning FOX News morning host and author.
“I Am So Glad You Were Born” is a testimony to life and the lives of all children.
According to Earhardt, “Kathy Doocy, wife of my ‘Fox & Friends’ co-anchor Steve Doocy, also inspired me. Whenever there is a birthday for someone on the ‘Fox & Friends’ set, I like to say, ‘I’m so glad you were born.’
“After saying that, the crew would always erupt in laughter because it was a phrase that they had never heard before.
“Kathy Doocy said that I should write a children’s book on why I was so glad that every human being was born.”
In addition to writing books and co-hosting “Fox & Friends” morning show, she hosts “Ainsley’s Bible Study,” streaming on Fox Nation. “I’m So Glad You Were Born” recently reached No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list for children’s picture books.
