In her new memoir, Cookie Johnson, wife of NBA legend Earvin “Magic” Johnson, shares details of her marriage, motherhood, faith, and how an HIV diagnosis twenty-five years ago changed the course of their lives forever.On November 7, 1991, basketball icon Earvin “Magic” Johnson stunned the world with the news that he was HIV-positive. For the millions who watched, his announcement became a pivotal moment not only for the nation, but his family and wife. Twenty-five years later, Cookie Johnson shares her story and the emotional journey that started on that day—from life as a pregnant and joyous newlywed to one filled with the fear that her husband would die, she and her baby would be infected with the virus, and their family would be shunned. Believing in Magic is the story of her marriage to Earvin nearly four decades of loving each other, losing their way, and eventually finding a path they never imagined. November 7, 2016 will mark a quarter-century since the announcement and Cookie’s survival and triumph as a wife, mother, and God-fearing woman. Cookie has never shared her full account of the reasons that she stayed and her life with Earvin “Magic” Johnson. Believing in Magic is her story.

It has only taken me one day to complete this well-written biography by Cookie Johnson. This quick read left no questions unanswered and no stones unturned. For that, I thank her. She has opened up her heart and her life which was filled with as much hurt and devastation as blessings and triumphs. Cookie Johnson is strong and inspiring. This book had humbled me and made me understand the power of being patient and believing in God. As a huge fan of Magic Johnson in the late '80's, after reading her biography I can now say that Cookie is my new hero.
Believing in Magic is just that, Magic. Earvin and Cookie were made for each other. In Believing in Magic, we get to know Cookie. Most know her has Magic's wife and EJ's mother, but in this book, you get to see her as a woman of God who will go toe to toe with the devil before she allows the devil to tai hold her family. This book is a love story that truly will touch every person who reads this book. E and E, God truly put two special people together to create a life of love, Family, and God (not in that order). Cookie is the real MVP in Magic's life. Magic was talented basketball player and phenomenal businessman, but with a GOOD woman standing beside him and walking every inch of the way, he would not be the Magic we all have come to know. Cookie showed how it is beyond acceptable to pursue your career goals and still have a relationship with a professional basketball player. Cookie you have shown that a real woman fights (spiritually) for her marriage and family.
Beautifully written, you can't help but to love it!
Cookie Johnson has written a candid memoir about her life as the wife and mother (to his kids) of Magic Johnson. With raw emotion she shares what it's like to experience the ups and downs of love and in her case all in the public eye. A story that is both comforting and relatable to women of all walks of life.
