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.

Review
"A poignant account of their time together. This book answers many of the why's of their relationship, but more importantly it shows Cookie's strength, tenacity, intelligence and sheer will to raise her family, live an authentic life and support her soulmate. A must read!"--Tonya and Dave Winfield
"Believing in Magic is for real. A story about growing as an individual, a couple, and then as a family. Great adversity lead them to a challenging life, but being anchored by faith brought about the greatest love of all. Cookie and Magic have lived, loved, learned and now leave a great message for all. Have Faith."--Pat & Chris Riley
"Cookie and Magic's relationship exemplifies strength, love, commitment through faith holding steadfast to the original design of marriage. We're blessed to call them friends."--Pauletta & Denzel Washington
"We couldn't put our friend Cookie's book down. Though we have known Cookie's strength of character for decades--reading this book indelibly rebranded her in our eyes . . . She took us on her remarkable life journey with transparency, humility, humor, pride and confidence. What a stellar testimony to the power of love, faith, family and friendship."--Rodney Peete & Holly Robinson Peete?
"Some experiences we go through are made more difficult by fame and fortune. Believing in Magic is an example that one's true treasure lies in faith, tenacity, and a sense of one's own purpose in life."--Courtney Vance & Angela Bassett
"Cookie is an amazing woman!! Her family's journey has been truly INSPIRING & MAGICAL . . . We love & admire you big sis and big bro!"--LL Cool J & Simone I. Smith
"In 1991, Cookie and Earvin (Magic) Johnson came to West Angeles Church amid a crisis greater than most couples ever experience. It has been an honor to know them, serve them, and love them and their family unconditionally as they have journeyed from then until now. We are convinced that this exciting and well-written story will touch and thrill the hearts of many for years to come." --Bishop Charles and "Lady Mae" Blake, West Angeles Church of God in Christ
"Cookie has never been one to seek the spotlight and I'm thrilled that she is now sharing her story. Her beautifully written book will inspire and empower others to overcome any challenges in their lives. Cookie Johnson believes in Magic and I believe in her." --Robin Roberts
