How did a shy bashful young girl go from that to talking to millions on TV.  

You will hear how she went from teachers diagnosing her with dyslexia to another believing in her and being the spark, she needed.

Her faith has guided her to where she is today and where life is going to take her will inspire so many.

I hope you enjoy it.
