Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 5-8-- Seven short chapters highlight events that helped Winfrey take charge of her life. Concise, well-organized writing leads readers through her often difficult childhood that included a broken home, sexual abuse, poverty, and overt misbehavior. However, her intelligence, drive, and strict parental support moved her into adulthood with ambition and confidence. Winfrey's contributions to scholarships, her involvement in Big Sister programs, and her ability to reach out to others give this no-nonsense biography a satisfying conclusion. Bland black-and-white photographs are interspersed throughout the text (which lacks any documentation for all this factual information). --Judie Porter, Media Services Center, Portsmouth School Department, RI
