Her powerful voice and independent style made her an overnight national sensation. But life wasn't always sensational for Fantasia.\n\nAt 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 Life Is Not a Fairy Tale, 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:\n\n• Recognize your gift\n• You made your bed, now lie in it\n• Give props where props are due\n• Like mother, like daughter\n• It ain't about the bling\n\nFantasia keeps it real with her sassy, self-confident style and down-to-earth advice, making us laugh and cry with her. Life Is Not a Fairy Tale is more than just a celebrity success story. It's a book of revelations that will inspire everyone to reach for their greatest potential.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0743282655\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0743282655.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Fantasia\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
