I actually got this book with my daughter in mind. Oprah has always been an inspiration to so many women of my generation, but there don't seem as many for my daughter to look to. I thought this book would be an easy read for her, but would provide enough of the story to give her the insight into the woman.It has. It gives you enough of the background to understand the woman, without trashing her name. It tells you of her troubles without giving all the dirty details, it marks her triumphs without over-doing them. This gave my daughter and her junior high school friends a great sense of the woman. It also gave them a sense of the struggles of women, without too much detail for their ages.The girls were all able to write well defined papers on Oprah Winfrey and her impacts on the world. They read a great book, and I got to read a great book since of course I had to read it before I could let them read it. Now I can say that the author did a wonderful job of giving a great overview that is perfect on so many levels. If you have junior children this is the perfect book for them.
