Publisher's summary

Discover country music star Sara Evans’ inspirational story about her rise to stardom, her roundabout path to love, and how her faith brings daily joy no matter the circumstances.

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 career, 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. Fans old and new will enjoy this inspiring, heartfelt book.

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.

Definitely a favorite

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

Sara Evans is the kind of person we all should aspire to be more like. Sara does her upbringing proud by remaining true to the things most important in life which are family, faith and friends. Sara Evans life story is one of
Incredible faith, perseverance and kindness. If you know her in person you’re lucky and if not then get to know her through this audible book.
Her music and talent for entertaining is easy to be a fan of and listening to her audible book makes it even easier to be a big fan of Sara the person. Thank you Sara for sharing with us all you’re stories, triumphs and challenges it really was a wonderful listen.

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.
