Britain’s Got Talent runner-up Susan Boyle has inked a deal to write her autobiography.
The Scottish singing sensation, who shot to fame on Simon Cowell’s British version of American Idol, has teamed with publishing company Transworld to share details of her life and pay tribute to her late mother whom Susan cared for until her death in 2007, at the age of 91.
Boyle says, “When I strutted on to the stage for that audition, I was a scared wee lassie (little lady), still grieving for my mother, not caring how I looked. I think I’ve grown up a lot in the last year, become more of a lady, and I’m not so frightened anymore. I’m writing this book to try to show that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover and I hope it will benefit other people. My story demonstrates that you shouldn’t just look at the label, you should look at the whole person, emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually.”
“I hope that telling it will show that dreams are not impossible, if you’ve got courage and a willingness to go on no matter what the circumstances,” adds Boyle, who has seen her albums top charts around the world the past 12 months.
The autobiography “The Woman I Was Born To Be” will hit stores in the fall.
Boyle recently purchased a $447,000 home and moved out of public housing – check out the photos HERE:
