Great Book

I thought this was a really good book. I learned alot about Oprah's life, alot of things I did not expect. Up Close books are great books and I would recommended all Up Close books to anyone intrested in reading.

A GOD'S CHILD

At first we may thought about Oprah, a pure TV product...but the book is a wonderful story about a born poor, black, woman, a rebel who was suffering during her childhood but Oprah is a God's child and has been supported once she was a young woman. Why? How? read the book and you will know a compassion and authenticity. I am a leadership expert and can tell you how I was surprise of her simple way of life: perseverance! I was living the story of Oprah Potter! but harry is only a fiction, OPRAH is GENUINE. Dear Oprah, with all my love for what you have done and continue to do. You are a role model and it is just the beginning!
