Radio Heaven

de Sam Collins

"At twenty-one, Sam Collins had her world turned upside down when her mother died. Sam's life spiralled out of control until one day she was mistaken for being homeless having passed out on a train station platform. A few years later and after having been fired from her dream job, she made the biggest decision of her life. With no experience, money or network and driven by pure will, she would build an award winning business from scratch ... [This] powerfully captures the story of one woman growing up on a rough housing estate in England to living the dream in California and adopting a little girl called Grace from war-torn DR Congo. Told with honesty and humor, interwoven with reflective guidance, Radio Heaven reveals the inspirational story of how one woman ultimately found Grace in a journey that made her overcome her fears, tested her to the limit and finally healed her. Not the usual success book, it's a memoir about failure and how to thrive from it. It is about the power of doing business for social good and designing your own destiny rather than waiting for your parents, bosses, partners, or society to determine it for you"--Publisher's description.
