ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff’s wife, Lee, has been named a regular life and family contributor to “Good Morning America.” Her assignment begins officially with an appearance this week.

Ms. Woodruff is a former public relations executive who has been freelancing for women’s and family magazines. She also is the founder of the Bob Woodruff Family Fund and co-author with her husband of “In an Instant,” a book about his injuries from a roadside bomb in Iraq and his stunning recovery.

“We look forward to seeing Lee on ‘GMA’ as she draws from her own experiences and personal insights to help our viewers learn about dealing with life’s many challenges and turning points,” “GMA” senior executive producer Jim Murphy said in Wednesday’s announcement.
