Fantasia could have been just another sad statistic. At the
age of seventeen, despite the promise of her extraordinary
voice, she was just another young girl who dropped out of
high school, a baby on her hip. Her life and her plans for
her future seemed to be going nowhere. The choices she had
made were closing every door to the life she had hoped to
live. But Fantasia had been raised by strong women of faith. Both
her grandmother and mother are preachers. She was raised
with an unshakable faith in God, the kind of faith that she
needed when it came time to rethink her choices and
redirect her life. Fantasia hoped that by using her gift to
inspire others, she would be able to someday take care of
her family and herself. Now readers can share the intimate moments of her life. In
Life Is Not a Fairy Tale, Fantasia offers a deeply
emotional look at her rise to the top and the life-altering
revelations she came to during her lowest moments along the
way. With a spirit as strong as her voice, she speaks with
heartfelt, humorous frankness about what it takes to get
off the wrong path and onto the right one. Fantasia
confides in readers, walking with them through the trials
of her family life and loving a man who didn't love her,
through the challenge of being a baby mama to managing the
joys and pressures of fame. She turns all that she's
learned into uplifting life lessons, including: • Recognize your gift • You made your bed, now lie in it • Give props where props are due • Like mother, like daughter • It ain't about the bling Fantasia keeps it real with her sassy, self-confident style
and down-to-earth advice, making readers laugh and cry with
her. Fantasia's story will inspire readers to believe in
themselves and have the faith it takes to reach for their
greatest potential.
