You know those inspiring backstories that make you weep when they play them on AI? Here's a whole book full of them, touching stories from the crew, fans and contestants of the show, all sharing how the show changed their lives in some major way. There are tales of young cancer patients whose spirits were lifted by the performances – and in some cases, even the in-person meetings with – AI contestants like Ace Young, stories from families who bonded while watching the show together, and stories from some our favorite contestants - Chris Daughtry, George Huff, Carrie Underwood, Bucky Covington, Scott Savol, Anthony Federov, Jordin Sparks, Clay Aiken, Ruben Studdard, Blake Lewis and Fantasia all included – about exactly what being on the show has meant to them, beyond what we've seen unfold on TV. It's the feel-good book of the season, and trust us when we tell you you're going to need a whole box of tissues to make it through this weeper.
