Staff Review:
"I don't think anybody can save your life except for yourself. That was a key element in realizing that I had to change." - Demi Lovato.
Demi was a child star - starting her career at age 10. And as the years went by with fame, glitz and pressure mounting up, Demi checked into a rehab in 2000 to deal with "physical and emotional issues". Fast forward to today though, (2014), Demi's latest single "Let It Go" (from the animated 'Frozen') won an Oscar for the Best Original Song. She has also released her 5th CD recently and is travelling and performing on "The Neon Lights Tour".
In the midst of a busy schedule, Demi penned down her thoughts in this book - 365 quotes and verses taken from various sources - the Bible, sayings of Buddha, philosophers, other entertainers and superstars etc. And with each quote, she spells out how they each inspire her to stay strong and sets a goal which she challenges each of us to do, so that we may also be changed.
She is also working on her personal biography, scheduled to be released in 2014.
