Born to Fly

A Memoir

By: Sara Evans

Narrated by: Sara Evans

Country music star Sara Evans’s “humble but incredible life story” (Publishers Weekly) about her rise to stardom, her roundabout path to love, and how her faith brings daily joy no matter the circumstances is an inspiring and “warm, approachable read” (Booklist).

Sara Evans—a Billboard, ACM, and CMA Award–winning country music star who’s been named one of People’s “50 Most Beautiful People” and competed on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars—has been inspiring fans throughout her successful music career.

In this powerful, personal, and often humorous book, Sara opens up and shares stories from her professional and personal life, describing what it’s like living in the spotlight and how her faith keeps her strong. She writes about overcoming life’s most challenging experiences, from a childhood accident that nearly took her life, to the loss she experienced when her parents divorced, and from her own painful and very public divorce, to finding incredible love when she least expected it with former pro-quarterback-turned-sportscaster Jay Barker. Now, after over a decade of marriage, Sara and Jay’s blended family of nine is thriving, filling her life with focus and meaning.

As she weaves the narrative of her life, Sara candidly reveals the things that are most important to her and her family now, her favorite tips about staying true to herself and her faith, knowing when to ask for help, abandoning perfectionism, and the importance of a strong support group of friends and family. “She was ‘born to fly’ and you will fly too as you read each page” (Joe Galante, former president of RCA Records).

Love

Lover Sara Evans. Love her story and how real she is!!!!! I also love that she is the reader.

Great Story!

Loved this book! Great story from an awesome woman! I highly recommend this read for any music fans.

Literally

I don’t know why the editors didn’t tell her to stop using the work literally! It’s a good book, but she needed some help with the writing. It reads like a 15 year old writing it.

Born to Fly

Good book, interesting and personal stories. Always been an fan of Evans music and it was refreshing to hear her thoughts on parenting/step-parenting, raising good unmentioned kids and respecting traditions.

A lot in common

I knew I loved to hear Sara Evans sing and shared a few things in common with her - she was born in Missouri and lives in Alabama. I was born in Alabama and we lived in Missouri for about nine years before moving back home to Alabama. We both love Jay Barker, in different ways, of course. Roll Tide!

Inside "Born To Fly" I learned a lot more about Sara and her journey in life so far. It has been an interesting journey to say the least, from near death accidents to blended families, faith and women in country music. It is a very candid look at her life so far.

Hearing the author reading their book and their life is always a great experience as this was for me. I expect it will be for you too.

Great to hear about your falls and stand talls!

I've been a fan since you're debut in Nashville. I thought the book was great I especially love that it was narrated by you it gives it more authenticity in connection to you. I loved that you started the stories from when you were a child, it gives a look into your real history and what comitment you had to make to get where you are today. Sometimes you see someone on tv or hear them on the radio and you dont understand the stuggles they went through to get there. Reading this gave me a new respect for you and all you've been through.
Ive worked hard my whole life to try and achieve my goals but always seem to get pushed back two steps everytime i get some steam ahead. Ive also sacrificed not getting to be with my family as much as i would like, and hope it is all worth it in the end.
I hope life continues to go uphill for you, you've worked hard for it..
PS. Girl country is making a come back!
Sincerily,

Love Sara as a singer. And now as a person she is so down to earth.

Loved it!! The only draw back was some of the language. I prefer my kids not to hear or be called some things.
