"Hers is the ultimate Cinderella story. Susan Boyle went from being an obscure, unemployed Scottish church volunteer to one of the hottest personalities in the media just days. Within a week of hitting the Internet, Susan's audition video was viewed by a record-setting 66 million people worldwide. When her debut album, 'I Dreamed a Dream' went on sale, it too shattered records. In The Woman I Was Born to Be, Susan finally tells her own story of a difficult childhood, her learning disability, her mother's death, and the strong faith that kept her going through these challenges. Here, she shares the details of the private world and emotional life of an ordinary person who refuses to be held back." -- Page 4 of cover.
