Overview
- Jones marked the book’s release on Today on Tuesday, April 14, where her three children surprised her in their first live appearance since their father’s death in May 2025.
- She dedicated the book to Kayin, Clara Josephine, and Little Uche, saying she wants them to have a way to know their mom through her words.
- In the text, she honors her late husband, Uche Ojeh, writing that the book would not exist without him because he urged her to keep going during his brain cancer battle.
- The publication was delayed nearly a year while she cared for Ojeh, who died at 45 in May 2025, and she returned to the NBC morning show that September.
- Through Mom’s Eyes collects conversations with the mothers of figures such as Lady Gaga, Stephen Curry, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Shaquille O’Neal, and Jones says its core themes are resilience, faith, and sisterhood.
