It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments - the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams - that contributed to the person I am today. This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival, and my songs. Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side.

Listening to this book, narrated by her made me feel so connected to her. I felt her pain and laughed with her during her funny mishaps. She is who she is today because of all the things she has endured and she accepts and handles situations with grace (for herself and others). Fans and haters should read to better understand the amazingly talented & diverse woman she is. Love you Mimi!!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 41,243
"I’m James Taylor and I’m a professional autobiographer", says the celebrated folk singer at the start of this tender audio memoir. Through decades of music by one of the best-selling musicians of all time, who created classics like "Fire and Rain" and "Carolina in My Mind", James Taylor has doled out his history in the poetry of his work. Taylor says his early life is, "the source of many of my songs", and Break Shot is a tour of his first 21 years in rich, new detail.

My dad loves James Taylor so I grew up listening to his music and of course continue to today. It was fascinating listening to him tell his story, where some of his songs came from and his relationship with the Beatles! Just wish it were longer JT!

I’m not even a climber and I LOVED it!

Wow. I just finished it and I wish there were more! The stories were great and captivating. I love the topics covered about persistence and the way the stories tied in with each point. I especially loved the story about Jarrett. Don’t we all know a Jarrett in our lives?
This is one of those books EVERYONE should read. It’s inspiring, motivational and practical. It’s the perfect Father’s Day gift or that cool book your son or daughter would love to read (and every mom WANTS them to read). Only 2 swear words when quoting Jarrett.
David, your perseverance in life and on the mountain is truly remarkable and I love how you tied it into business strategies. My son and his friend listened to it and loved it too.

When their last outgoing flight is cancelled, Ben finds a charter plane that can take him around the storm and drop him in Denver to catch a connection. And when the pilot says the single-engine prop plane can fit one more, if barely, Ben offers the seat to Ashley, knowing that she needs to get home just as urgently. And then the unthinkable happens. The pilot has a heart attack, and the plane crashes into one of the largest stretches of harsh and remote land in the United States.

Danny North knew from early childhood that his family was different - and that he was different from them. While his cousins were learning how to create the things that commoners called fairies, ghosts, golems, trolls, werewolves, and other such miracles that were the heritage of the North family, Danny worried that he would never show a talent, never form an "outself"....

Too vulgar for me, so disappointing
Reviewed: 11-22-15
I really liked this book at first. It caught my attention right away and I was excited for a good read. Then the vulgarity started. Too much of the book focuses on teenage lust... Describing things in detail that are simply not needed and in my opinion totally un-relevant to the story. Yes he's a teenage boy but there are so many great novels about teens without all this junk. Don't start it if you're sensitive to this issue. Usually Card is a safe read but definitely not this time :(
