About
the Book
At age three, Oprah began performing in churches,
becoming known to adoring crowds as the Little Speaker. When she was asked what
she wanted to be when she grew up, she answered, "I want to be paid to
talk." Here is the story of Oprah Winfrey’s childhood, a story about
a little girl on a Mississippi pig farm who grew up to be the "Queen of
Talk." The host of the Emmy Award–winning
Oprah
Winfrey Show
, she
currently directs a media empire that includes television and movie productions,
magazines, a book club, and radio shows. An author’s note is
included.
