<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"American Idol" winner Fantasia delivers a lively, honest, and inspirational memoir about overcoming life's obstacles, having faith in oneself, and finding the inner strength it takes to make even impossible dreams come true. Color photos.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>FANTASIA tells of her astonishing rise from hopeless high school dropout to <i>American Idol</i> superstar in the inspirational <i>New York Times</i> bestseller <i>Life Is Not a Fairy Tale</i></b> <p/> In one moment, with one tearful performance of Summertime, the nineteen-year-old Fantasia captured the hearts -- and the votes -- of millions of <i>American Idol</i> fans. Her powerful voice and independent style made her an overnight national sensation. But life wasn't always sensational for Fantasia. <p/> At the age of seventeen, despite the promise of her extraordinary voice, Fantasia was in danger of becoming just another sad statistic: an uneducated, unmarried teenage mother living in the projects. But Fantasia had been raised by two strong, influential women: Both her grandmother and mother are preachers, and she was raised with an unshakable faith. In <i>Life Is Not a Fairy Tale, </i> Fantasia speaks -- with a spirit as strong as her voice -- about what it takes to believe in the power of one's self. She turns all that she's learned into uplifting life lessons, including: <p/> <b>- Recognize your gift <br> - You made your bed, now lie in it <br> - Give props where props are due <br> - Like mother, like daughter <br> - It ain't about the bling</b> <p/> Fantasia keeps it real with her sassy, self-confident style and down-to-earth advice, making readers laugh and cry with her. <i>Life Is Not a Fairy Tale</i> is more than just a celebrity success story. It's a book of revelations that will inspire all readers to reach for their greatest potential.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Fantasia Barrino is a S-T-A-R. <br> --<i>Los Angeles Times</i><br><br>In song after song she reaches back to her church roots, pulling notes from deep within and passionately sending them out to the sky. <br> --<i>New York Daily News</i><br><br>With a chart-topping single and her new album, Free Yourself, the American Idol champ showed a nation how to turn obstacles into inspiration. <br> --<i>CosmoGirl</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Fantasia</b> began singing at the age of five.
