Episode 351: Miss America 2016 Betty Maxwell and Her New Book Miss Unlikely

Episode 351: Miss America 2016 Betty Maxwell and Her New Book Miss Unlikely   Betty Maxwell grew up in a double-wide trailer on a modest farm in rural Georgia. She preferred spending time with her family, friends, and farm animals over studying for her Catholic high school classes. She always dreamed of becoming an actress and a vocal performer. After high school, Betty accepted a college scholarship to study theatre and music. Despite her initial hesitation, she pursued the world of pageantry once she realized it was an opportunity to showcase her vocal talents and earn additional scholarships. She never expected her pursuits would lead her to be crowned Miss America in 2016. In her new memoir, Miss Unlikely: From Farm Girl to Miss America (from BroadStreet Publishing), Betty takes us through her childhood, her pageant journey, her year as Miss America, her fairytale wedding, and more. Betty offers wisdom on school, family, self-esteem, dreams, dating, disappointment, and loss.   Her official web site is: www.bettymaxwell.net Instagram: @realbettymaxwell Buy Betty’s Book – Miss Unlikely: From Farm Girl To Miss America Get Betty’s Music: - Amazon   As Always...Thank You For Listening    About Your Host: Rick Lee James Official Web Site: www.RickLeeJames.com Get Rick Lee James Latest Album: https://fanlink.to/RLJThunder For Booking Inquiries  Click Here or contact Gary Stripling By Phone: 904.745.9151 By Email: [email protected] Management General Office Hours: Monday – 11Am – 5PM Tuesday – 11Am – 5PM Wednesday – Office closed Thursday – 11Am – 5PM Friday – 11AM – 5PM Saturday – 11AM – 5PM
