Long Synopsis:
Now, in her own words, the most dynamic vocal talent of our time-the
international
singing sensation whose recordings have sold millions, and whose
performances electrify
the world's great arenas-gives us her poignant, intimate, and inspiring
life story
. . . from the heart. She was born into a working-class Canadian family,
the youngest
of fourteen children. She gave her first performance standing on a kitchen
table
and dreamed of becoming a superstar. Few in her field can rival the
phenomenal God-given
abilities of Celine Dion. Fewer still have experienced the love, sorrow,
accomplishment,
and ecstasy that have shaped her remarkable life and carried her to the
pinnacle
of the entertainment world. "In Celine Dion: My Story, My Dream Celine
takes us backstage,
on the road, into the recording studio, and behind the scenes to reveal the
hard
work that creates the magic. But her book, much more than a chronicle of
early breakthroughs
and professional high-water marks, of unforgettable encounters with the
luminaries
and legends of show business is, first and foremost, a story of love. This
talented
and beautiful woman who has moved us with her singing now moves us with her
words
as she tells of growing up in a large, close-knit household fortified in
its daily
struggles by powerful bonds of heartfelt affection and the family tragedies
their
shared love enabled them to overcome. Here, also, Celine recounts warmly
and intimately
the storybook romance that remains her most enduring passion and greatest
joy: Celine's
marriage to René Angélil, her manager and soul mate.
She tells of the devastating pain they both experienced when a doctor
informed them
that René had cancer, and how fighting the disease together helped
strengthen their
relationship. And she shares her joy, anxiety, and breathless anticipation
of the
impending fulfillment of their most cherished dream: parenthood.
A true story of courage, perseverance, dedication, and devotion?told with
the wide-eyed
honesty of someone who, though she has basked in the glowing adoration of
millions
of fans, has never lost touch with her working-class roots?Celine Dion: My
Story,
My Dream is for anyone who has ever wondered about the real person behind
the magnificent
voice. Touching and funny, fascinating and uplifting, it is an exquisitely
detailed
portrait of a remarkable woman who has never backed away from a challenge
... even
the most daunting challenges of the heart.
CELINE DION is one of the world's most popular and well-known singers
today. When
she sang at the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games in Atlanta, her
voice reached
3.5 billion people worldwide. Her albums are instant bestsellers upon
release. She
has sold more than 60 million copies of her English-language recordings,
millions
more of her French recordings, and 18 million copies of "My Heart Will Go
On," the
theme from Titanic. Celine is admired and loved by fans around the world,
and her
concerts fill stadiums, whatever the size. With 115 separate music awards
to her
name, she is a living legend.
