About this ebook
For beloved superstar Marie Osmond, one gift that her mother gave her stands above the rest: the gift to trust and follow her heart.
Even when her path seemed bleak, it was this unwavering faith that allowed her to follow her dreams, both professional and personal, and survive the hardest times in her life. Like so many women out there, Marie has struggled through years of being a single parent and a working parent, while juggling the need to be there for her children and still be there for her other “family,” the multitude of fans and followers who look up to her.
Through it all, Marie has turned to the person who helped her through every stage of her life and her career: her mother. Drawing on the wisdom that Olive Osmond imparted over the years, Marie weaves a rich, touching, and honest memoir about her life offstage and off-camera, where she took on her most important role: motherhood. Through her personal delights, dreams, downturns, and devastating tragedy, Marie offers insights on creating a strong family, raising happy and independent children and, especially, moving forward when it seems impossible to do so.

Wow! Great read. This book will have you laughing, crying, thinking all at the same time. Well done. Received book yesterday through Google Store and could not put it down thus why I have already finished it but will definitely re-read. Marie addresses tough issues in this book such as her daughter's coming out at the age of 17 to her and the suicide of her son Michael. Don't miss out on this great memoir and note you do not have to be a fan to enjoy this book as the book is really about women's strength, wisdom, versatility, empowerment, etc.
