The inspiring story of a young woman's escape from poverty and abuse to
achieve her dreams and overcome obstacles through hard work, constant
determination, and unyielding faith in God.
Country music singer Julie Roberts is no stranger to overcoming hard times through
determination, hard work, and strength. Having escaped an impoverished childhood
and an abusive, alcoholic father, Julie moved from South Carolina to Nashville,
Tennessee, to attend Belmont University and work as a receptionist at Mercury
Records-all while secretly pursuing her dream of becoming a singer. Filling her nights
with music and booking shows at obscure venues, the one requirement when Julie was
hired at Universal Music Group was that she not be an aspiring singer. Yet, despite her
best efforts to keep quiet, Julie knew God had placed music within her as a child and
that it was bound to come out sooner or later. Raw, honest, and sometimes painful,
Julie's lyrics resonated quickly with country music fans, and her emotion-soaked debut
album-a reflection of her own painful past-was an instant success.
Just as Julie's dreams were coming true, her life began to unravel. Soon, she was
battling debilitating physical illness, the rising waters of Nashville's hundred-year
flood, and a stalled career. Instead of succumbing to despair, Julie proved
miraculously resilient-taking the steps she needed to face adversity head on and
rebuild her life through her characteristic optimism, hard work, and faith.
Journey with Julie as she walks through the highs and lows of her career, the personal
struggles she's endured, the lessons she's learned, and her sense of purpose as she
rebuilds her singing career and contributes her voice to the work of supporting others
with multiple sclerosis. Julie's courage combined with her joyful personality and love
for God will encourage readers in a uniquely powerful way.
