It’s hard not to introduce clichés when you're reviewing a book like this, as phrases such as “rags to riches” keep coming to mind. The truth is, though, that Maria Lawson had a tough life as a kid and was well and truly educated in the school of hard knocks – to use another cliché.
There are several things that impressed me about Maria's account of her life. Firstly, she hasn't forgotten her roots. She still seems in awe of world-famous celebrities, although truth to tell she needn't be as she can sing a darn sight better than many of them. It’s also easy to pick up on the fact that Maria is a genuinely nice person who has no trouble in facing up to her own failings.
Everyone, though, gets a shot at “making it” - and Maria was savvy enough to see her chance coming along. Her account of her life displays passionately a child who never gave up on a dream and an adult who had the guts to make it a reality.
Life Starts Now will prove to be an inspiration to those who want to make something of their life and yet feel daunted by the challenge. God bless her for writing it.
