Ilene Cooper is the children s books editor at "Booklist"and the author of over twenty books for young readers, including "Jack: The Early Years of John F. Kennedy.""
Cooper tackles one of the richest and most famous women in the
world, recounting her complicated life and extraordinary history
with honesty and clarity. This comfortably sized volume makes
excellent use of many quotes from interviews, Oprah s own writing
and, of course, her television show. Her personal struggles are not
simplified nor are her remarkable public acts of philanthropy and
care over-exaggerated: She hosts a talk show indeed, but she also
writes, speaks, acts and makes good things happen. Sure to find a
rapt audience. Kirkus Reviews"
