EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK The premiere of Hannah Montana was unlike anything the channel had ever seen before. Yet, Miley was so insulated from the process, she didnt know anyone had actually seen it until she was at an amusement park with her aunt. There, six thirteen year-old girls ran up to me and asked for my autograph. This was the moment when I realized that Hannah Montana wasnt just a new job that I loved. There were people out there watching us. Real people, who recognized me on te street. I wasnt just Miley Cyrus anymore, I was carrying Miley Stewart and Hannah Montana around with me. It was weird. It was cool. I was twelve. (Miley Cyrus, Miles to Go) Everything happened fast for Miley Cyrus. She went from being the child of a famous musician to a star in her own right. Yet, she was not sure how to handle the process. She became the first person signed to the Walt Disney Company that had not just one, but several deals across the board in television, film, music and merchandising. This was due to the savvy workings of her mom Tish, who went to someone who knew about the inner workings of show business for guidance, Mileys godmother, Dolly Parton. Dolly directed Tish to the best representatives and business managers in the business. Miley was now a conglomerate and she hadnt even become a teenager yet... Buy a copy to keep reading!
