Overview
- Jones celebrated on Today with a cake featuring her book cover and said the past year was dark before she began to see light again.
- Her children surprised her on the show earlier in the week to cheer the release of Through Mom's Eyes and shared a framed quote from her late grandmother.
- At a New York City launch event for the book, she said many mothers she interviewed leaned on faith during hard times, which became a central thread.
- She delayed the project after her husband, Uche Ojeh, died of brain cancer in May 2025, later returning to Today and keeping her promise to finish the book.
- Colleagues including Jenna Bush Hager and Hoda Kotb showed support at events and behind the scenes, which Jones described as a sisterhood that stood by her.
