Lang also hosted a live virtual book signing and discussion this past November 11 on Facebook at @KellyLangMusic.
“I was able to revisit my early years starting out in the music business, learning valuable lessons along life’s highway. I really went deep into how it felt to hit a brick wall with a diagnosis of cancer and what I did to overcome and rise above since that terrible experience. I hope that my journey will be helpful to anyone who may face any battle in their life and perhaps be a ray of light as they fight their way through any crisis. It was so cathartic to be able to tell my truth and share my story in such a bold way. It was important to have this book completed to honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month which was made possible thanks to Springer Mountain Farms Chicken.” Shares Kelly Lang.
REVIEW
I truly enjoy a great book and especially an autobiography! I have to say, Kelly Lang’s new book is one that you can’t put down once you open it. It is a page turner with laughs, enjoyment, sadness, honesty, marriage, family, career, God, faith and kicking cancer’s butt! The QR Codes are the greatest thing ever! I so enjoyed scanning those with my cellphone and watching Kelly talk about that chapter in her life, sharing things like her time on Star Search and getting makeup done by Marie Osmond, just priceless videos that Kelly shares with you. I highly recommend this new book and I believe we all have someone in our life that has had cancer or is currently going through it. This is a book for them and for you as well. It will make a great holiday present. Kelly is offering a great package deal with a Deluxe EP of her song “I’m Not Going Anywhere” and an autographed/personalized book.

Lang’s single, “I’m Not Going Anywhere,” continues to resonate with thousands across the country, as part of Ascension Hospital’s national campaign. Written based on a personal experience, the tune describes unwavering love. While Lang witnessed a close friend struggle through health issues, she noticed how his wife made sure to reassure him that she would always be there for him. Lang’s empathetic heart realized the dedication it takes to remain by someone’s side and found herself in a similar situation when she was diagnosed with breast cancer a few months later. Now husband, T.G. Sheppard, held Lang’s hand throughout her entire battle both mentally and physically, proving his steadfast commitment to her. Ascension Hospital’s campaign, the single, and Lang’s new autobiography are touching hearts and while offering inspiration to all.
