The subtitle wraps this up nicely "Life, Love and Faith in Stages" from Chenoweth's upbringing in Oklahoma, her love of singing, her love of family and her faith. All stories come back to these themes. The rest is gravy but it's incredibly fun and tasty gravy. Stories about her constant runner-up status in the pageants that paid for her to study opera, her move to Broadway, then TV and her on-again, off-again relationship with Mr. Writer. You will laugh and you will cry and you will be entertained the entire time. I kid you not!
