Chely Wright, performer, songwriter, country music legend, writes in this moving and sharing with memoir about her life, growing up in Kansas City, the youngest of three children, creating her mind at a age to become a country music legend, making a pact with God - to keep her "sinning" to a minimum if he'd just get her to the stage of the Grand Ole Opry. . . We see her, a presented vocalist at seventeen on the Ozark Jubilee (the show that began Brenda Lee, Red Foley and Porter Wagoner), being cast in Country Music U.S.A., a favorite show in Opryland U.S.A., being asked to perform at that early age on the level of the Grand Ole Opry. . .
