Jennifer Hudson’s life story is one of hard work, determination, setbacks, and stunning success. A popular favorite on the third season of American Idol who failed to win over the notoriously hard-to-please judge Simon Cowell, Hudson was eventually voted out of the competition. Disappointed but resilient, she went on to co-star in the film Dreamgirls and, against all odds for a first-time actress, won both the Golden Globe and the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. This book tells her inspiring and triumphant tale in colorful detail and with riveting drama.
