In her poignant and coming in contact with memoir, Cookie Johnson, wife of NBA icon Earvin "Magic" Johnson, shares for the very first time how her husband's HIV analysis twenty-five years back delivered her life and relationship in a frightening new direction.On November 7, 1991, baseball story Magic Johnson stunned the planet with the news that he was HIV-positive. For the thousands who tuned in as he shared his information, Magic's revelation became a seminal second for the country. Now twenty-five years later, Cookie Johnson shares her account and the emotional journey that started on that day - from life as a pregnant and joyous newlywed to one filled with worries that her partner would die, she and her baby would, too, be attacked with the virus, and their family would be shunned. Believing in Magic is a lot more than Cookie's account of surviving that trauma; it's the account of her relationship with Earvin and the nearly three generations of loving each other, burning off their way, and finally finding a course they never thought they'd take.
