Martha Stewart's strong work ethic, exacting standards, and entrepreneurial spirit have helped her build a home design empire worth close to $1 billion. Martha has come a long way since her childhood in Nutley, New Jersey. Martha never abandoned her childhood dream of being a teacher, and considers it the mission of lines like Kmart's "Martha Stewart Everyday" to bring style to those customers who don't have the imagination to mix and match fabric designs and patterns. And through the 13 books she has written, her magazine, her Emmy-award winning television show, website, syndicated newspaper column, national radio show, mail-order catalogue, and product lines, Martha has had more influence on how Americans eat, entertain, and decorate than any other person in history. You'll get a glimpse into the life of the Diva of Domesticity with this biography, and learn what it takes to be a wildly-successful entrepreneur.
