Overview

She was born dirt poor on a Mississippi farm, got raped at nine and, at 14, bore a child who died during delivery. But now, in her early 40s, Oprah Winfrey is America's #1 talk show host, is worth at least $250 million and is loved around the world.

How did she do it? And what is she doing with her remarkable success? This intimate, no-holds-barred look at this phenomenal woman spells it out.

"Well-crafted and inspiring." (B-O-T Editorial Review Board)

Bly reveals the many sides of renowned talkshow host Oprah Winfrey, including her inspirational journey from a dirt-poor Mississippi farm to a lavish Chicago penthouse; how she conquered illegitimate birth, a lifelong eating problem and the white male establishment; how she spends her millions; the tragedies that tore her family apart; and much more.
