Summary

"Join Disney Legend Jodi Benson on a magical journey from a Midwestern town to the bright lights of Broadway and the recording booth where she brought to life one of the most beloved Disney princesses of all time! A treasure trove of colorful characters and unforgettable anecdotes, Part of My World ... follows the story of a girl with a big voice and even bigger dreams who sets out on the adventure of a lifetime. You'll come alongside Jodi as she struggles to find her footing in the rehearsal halls of Manhattan; meets (then loses, then marries) her prince charming; makes a splash on Broadway; gives voice to a feisty redheaded mermaid, a blonde bombshell named Barbie, and a Tony-nominated powerhouse named Polly; becomes a legend; and searches for her own personal happily ever after. Along the way, Jodi shares lessons she's learned about faith, friendship, love, loss, taking chances, making mistakes, following God's call, and chasing your dreams"--Page 4 of cover
