Oprah : A Biography

For the past 25 years, no one has been better at revealing secrets than Oprah Winfrey. On what is arguably the most influential show in television history, her guests - often the biggest celebrities in the world - have bared their love lives, explored their painful pasts, admitted their transgressions, revealed their pleasures and explored their demons. In turn, Oprah has allowed her audience to share in her own life story, opening up about her sexual abuse and discussing her romantic relationships, weight problems, spiritual beliefs, charitable donations, and her strongly held views on the state of the world. After a quarter of a century of the Oprah-isation of America, can there be any more secrets left to reveal? The answer is yes.
