"Miss Lee's" autobiography is straight from the heart. Her reminiscences are revealing of her difficult North Dakota childhood at the hands of an abusive stepmother, and her innocence in the tough world of show business as she started to shine as a major singer/songwriter. Marriages, poor health, and a few lawsuits did not dampen her spirit; faith, family, and friends provided strength and levity. This is a delightful autobiography in her own words
