GO BIG OR GO HOME by Scotty McCreery
 
Scotty McCreery is as wholesome in writing as he appeared on the stage of American Idol.  As he states, he is too young for this to be his autobiography.  So, it is kind of a travelogue/diary of his experiences so far.  Through his rise to success, he has found out that not all people are honest or looking out for his best interests.  But, he has also found out, as always, the good people outnumber the bad.
              Scotty is a young, all-American guy walking into the chaos of fame.  He has done it well and is surrounded by so many who do have his best interests at heart.  His story is not one of the ones we see on the cover of The Enquirer – some sad story of a young person who found fame early and went down the wrong road.  Scotty is staying firm in his beliefs and working hard to keep his roots in mind as all the perks of fame invade his life – including all the temptations that become so available as one finds fame.  Along the way, stories and comments have been included from fans, band members and such.  It’s a lovely touch, reinforcing the greatness of the example provided by Scotty McCreery.
