Sheinelle Jones' debut book is taking on a whole new meaning following the death of both her husband, Uche Ojeh, and her grandmother.
On the Today show on Monday, the anchor shared that while the publishing process of her book 'Through Mom's Eyes' may have been a bit delayed, she proceeded "in their honor" to bring the book, out on April 14, to fruition.
"This was supposed to come out last spring, and the truth is my husband Uche got really sick while I was writing this and he pushed me to keep going," she said. "So I delayed this for a year after he passed because I wanted to be with him and the kids, but I promised him that I wouldn't give this up."
The book, which is a "a collection of life lessons shared by women who raised extraordinary people," according to Today.com, also heavily features Jones' grandmother, she mentioned.
"These two people believed in me and believed in me most when I talked about this book," she said of her husband and grandmother while talking on the show. "You guys know I talk about Grandmama, she's a very active character in this book, she ended up passing seven months after Uche."
"What I have learned is that motherhood doesn't stop," she added. "Even in the hard times and the wisdom in this book brought me comfort. So today I am moving forward in their honor, I can't wait to hit the road and share with you what I have learned."

Ojeh suffered from brain cancer, which led to Jones to step away from work to be with him leading up to his death in May of 2025. He was 45 years old.
After additional time off she returned to the morning show in the fall. At the end of 2025, it was announced that she'd be taking the full-time seat on the show's third hour alongside Jenna Bush Hager, after months of rotating guest hosts, in what is now Jenna & Sheinelle.

“I know he’s looking down with your grandmother, who you also just recently lost—and they’re probably dancing to our new song and cheering you on,” Hager said at the time. ?
