THE DAZZLING RISE OF A YOUNG COUNTRY STAR

Last summer, "Blue," sung by LeAnn Rimes but originally written for Patsy Cline, became the fastest rising single of all time. Her album of the same name debuted at #1. And it all happened before her fourteenth birthday.

Who is this singer with the incredible voice, the youngest ever artist ever nominated for a Country Music Association Award, and winner of the Grammy Award for Best New Artist? Jo Sgammato traveled from Nashville to LeAnn's hometown of Pearl, Mississippi, then followed her path to Dallas and beyond to reveal her inspiring life. From singing at eighteen months through dazzling performances at talent shows, opry stages and sports arenas, here is the heartwarming story of a determined young singer and an American family whose dedication made A DREAM COME TRUE.

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!
