Publisher's Synopsis
'Astonishing... A fascinating and obsessively close look at one of the great rags-to-riches stories of our time.' Sunday Express
From working-class dreamer on the cobbled streets of Yorkshire to one of the world's most successful authors on the sweeping avenues of Manhattan, the rise of Barbara Taylor Bradford is by any standard extraordinary.
In this incredible story of suffering, loss and triumph over adversity, fact and fiction proceed side by side in a unique collaboration, the first time that Taylor Bradford has participated in a memoir of any kind, and one that has turned out to be as much a revelation to her as it will certainly be to her readers.

'Enthralling - a story no less gripping than any of her blockbusters.' You Magazine
