Book description
KYM MARSH is one of our most-loved stars, but her life has been
a rollercoaster ride through love, laughter and tears.
Now Kym's ready to tell her full story for the first time, describing
her difficult childhood growing up on a council estate in Wigan, and
struggling at school with bullying and an eating disorder.
She describes falling in love at 17 and finding herself pregnant
while still a teenager. By the time she was 21, she was a single mum
with two very young children, David and Emily, and it was a real
struggle to make ends meet.
But Kym had always dreamt of performing and even though the odds were
stacked against her, she was determined to make her dream a reality.
One day she auditioned for a new TV show called Popstars and her life
changed forever.
Kym now stars in the nation's favourite soap, Coronation Street. But
her life off-screen hasn't been easy. She reflects on her marriage to
Jack Ryder and how hard she tried to make it work. Kym found new love
with Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas and after tragically losing their
first baby Archie in 2009, the couple were over the moon to welcome
little Polly Lomas into the world earlier this year.
Entertaining, funny and incredibly honest, From the Heart is a
fantastic read all about how sometimes the best things happen in life
when you refuse to give up hope.
