　　In April 2009, a modest middle-aged woman from a village inScotland was catapulted to global fame when the YouTube video ofher audition for Britain's Got Talent touched the hearts ofmillions all over the world. From singing karaoke in local pubs tolive performance with an eighty-piece orchestra in Japan'slegendary Budokan arena and a record-breaking debut album, SusanBoyle has become an international superstar. This astonishingtransformation has not always been easy for Susan, faced with allthe trappings of celebrity, but in the whirlwind of attention andexpectation, she has always found calm and clarity in music. Susanwas born to sing. Now, for the first time, Susan tells the story ofher life and the challenges she has struggled to overcome withfaith, fortitude and an unfailing sense of humour. 'When I struttedonto the stage for that audition, I was a scared wee lassie, stillgrieving for my mother, not caring how I looked. I think I've grownup a lot in the last year, become more of a lady, and I'm not sofrightened anymore. I'm telling my story to try and show that youshouldn't judge a book by its cover, that you shouldn't just lookat the label - you must look at the whole person, emotionally,physically, mentally and spiritually. I hope that it will show thatdreams are not impossible, if you've got courage and a willingnessto go on no matter what the circumstances.' Prologue
