About this listen

Heartfelt and honest, Poster Girl is the inspirational memoir of a strong woman who epitomises the authentic spirit of country music and of Australia.

"The truth is, all I've ever wanted is to be onstage and present my songs and stories.... If they come to see me, I'm giving them something to see." (Beccy Cole)

Known for her hugely entertaining live shows and songs that are beloved by people of all ages, Beccy Cole has won nine Golden Guitars and seven songwriting awards, amongst other accolades. Her work has taken her around Australia, to small country towns, the Top End, and the Tamworth Country Music Festival, and to Iraq, where she performed for Australian troops.

Behind this amazing success is the shy girl with a dream; the artist who has forged a creative life and worked incredibly hard to do it; the mother whose son is at the centre of her world; the fiercely loyal friend; the devoted daughter and granddaughter. There's also the woman who has looked for love, who's had her heart broken and now finds it filled with joy.

In this unabridged audio edition, Beccy Cole tells her own story in that warm, distinctive voice we know and love.

Loved loved loved it. I am do glad Becci did her own narration. She is funny entertaining and very articulate and best of all, she is herself - I hope she sees this review. The only problem is i am having trouble finding something to listen to that I will equally joy. What an inspiration she is. I have been to several of her concerts and now feel like I know her personally and gained a new friend.

Would you consider the audio edition of Poster Girl to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the print version, but as the audio version is brilliantly read by Beccy herself - telling her own story - so yes, I'd say the audio version is better.

What did you like best about this story?

Beccy's openness in telling her story. She was brave, honest and heartfelt.

What about Beccy Cole’s performance did you like?

As she was reading her own life story, it felt like she was just there with you, having a chat.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Yes! I can't say how many times I shook my head and said "Oh, Beccy!" She made me laugh quite a number of times and I did tear up a couple of times too.

Any additional comments?

Terrific read - highly recommended.
