Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Genuine talent. If two words could describe LeAnn Rimes after reading this book, they are it. Clearly, she has that "special something". If you are a LeAnn Rimes fan, do yourself a favor and read about her charmed life. You will definitely come away with a deeper appreciation of her talent and of LeAnn herself. She had the good fortune of having two supportive parents who nutured her as a daughter, as well as her talent. She certainly has a recipe for success and we can only hope that it will continue in the years to come. On an interesting note, LeAnn signed copies of DREAM COME TRUE at last year's Fan Fair!

The book was about LeAnn Rimes, a singer. She was the youngest ever nominated for best new artist. She could sing when she was 18 monthes old, where she went on to talent shows, opry stages, and sports stadiums. LeAnn Rimes has always liked to sing and likes to be with her family. LeAnn always got special attention because she was an only child.
