What's Left Unsaid

My Life at the Center of Power, Politics & Crisis

By: Melissa DeRosa

Narrated by: Melissa DeRosa

When COVID-19 hit the United States, New York governor Andrew Cuomo was thrust onto the national stage, hailed around the globe for his leadership. Alongside him every step of the way, Melissa DeRosa quickly became a household name. In her riveting memoir, DeRosa details her journey as a young woman in politics rising to the highest levels of government, writing with raw honesty and vulnerability about the personal challenges she faced—a failing marriage, infertility, death threats, misogyny—while navigating unprecedented professional landmines along the way. DeRosa gives listeners a front-row seat to the white-knuckle ride from the epicenter of the deadliest pandemic in US history to the never-before-told story behind the #MeToo scandal that rocked a nation and brought down a governor.

Perfect for fans of Huma Abedin's Both/And, Marie Yovanovitch's Lessons from the Edge, Katie Couric's Going There, and Katy Tur's Rough Draft, What's Left Unsaid is a powerful story of resilience in the face of adversity. DeRosa's unvarnished political memoir provides fascinating, behind-the-scenes access to the inner workings of state and US government during one of the most consequential periods in our nation's history—bringing listeners into room after room where decisions are made, hardball politics unfold, and crises play out.

Well Said!

Melissa- you are talented. You are beautiful - inside and out. You are an inspiration to all woman and all Americans. Thank YOU for guiding NY and the nation through the COVID pandemic. This ole nurse and Navy veteran salutes you, and your former boss- an admirable gentleman.

So truthful and revealing

What a treat…everything I could have asked for. The truth behind the scenes of those selfless dedicated people who led us through the pandemic and then to hear how they went through hell due to false accusations and political rivalries with hidden agendas. The detailed vindicating evidence was refreshing closure for the reader. Would have been nice to hear of future plans. Not a fan of Letitia James! Go Andrew Coumo tribe. Definitely a come back story….

Breathtaking

Being in NJ, I lived the COVID disaster each and every day. Governor Cuomo, Melissa DeRosa, and the rest of the team got of through each and every day. This memoir is raw, breathtaking, and gut wrenching. Thank you for being so open, sharing your experiences, and your emotions.

Honesty

I loved this book. I admire Cuomo and didn’t know much about DeRosa until I read it. She uncovered so many unanswered questions that I had after Cuomo resigned. I truly hope they are back in office again someday! At the very least, I hope Melissa is successful at whatever she does next.

Mind blown

I thought I knew the facts, but was mistaken. I am shocked and saddened by the railroading of Cuomo’s team, never again will I trust the news without verification. I hope De Rosa comes back with a vengeance, we need fighters now more than ever. Being from NJ I watched the daily briefings and was so impressed with the coverage of the Covid crisis. I hope there is an opportunity to get this group of incredible people back together again to fight the good fight!💗
