From Rags To Riches – In Other Words

80% Deaf in one ear because her boy friend punched her a little too hard, 
she was an obvious failure at life and love.

Slumbering in homeless shelters, "poor" and famished, 
she doubted if ever she would rise up?

Hers was a life void of any riches, fortune and means; 
working several jobs to meet ends, 
she declined to give up, she was determined.

In her heart she everlastingly carried a self-belief; 
fighting her battles and challenging the doubters, 
she raised a STORM at The X-Men Series.

From picking up a "Razzie" for the worst actress 
to conquering the "Oscars" as the best, 
this is the story of a champion, 
this is a memoir of the brightest.

    1. You are so right Megha – it’s so easy to judge a book from its cover, without realizing the hardships that the “book’s” faced!
