Author Description

Oprah's career in broadcasting began by accident when she was only 17 years old. Even then, it was clear that she was a natural, and Oprah was offered a job as a part-time newscaster when all she had sought was a charitable contribution from radio station WVOL in Nashville! She firmly believes that her success is part of a divine plan for her life, aided by her own undeniable talent and ability. Her willingness to share the problems in her life has endeared her to millions, and the little girl who once shared a bed with her grandmother (who taught her to read and write at age three) in a house with no indoor plumbing has gone on to become one of the wealthiest, most powerful, and most highly-regarded people in the entertainment industry today.
