***The Global #1 Bestseller***
The extraordinary life of Cher can be told by only one person . . . Cher herself.
After more than seventy years of fighting to live her life on her own terms, Cher finally reveals her true story in this intimate celebrity memoir, the first of two parts.
Her remarkable career is unique and unparalleled. The only woman to top Billboard charts in seven consecutive decades, she is the winner of an Academy Award, an Emmy, a Grammy, and a Cannes Film Festival Award, and an inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame who has been lauded by the Kennedy Center.
She is a lifelong activist and philanthropist.
As a dyslexic child who dreamed of becoming famous, Cher was raised in often-chaotic circumstances, surrounded by singers, actors, and a mother who inspired her in spite of their difficult relationship.
With her trademark honesty and humor, Cher: The Memoir traces how this diamond in the rough succeeded with no plan and little confidence to become the trailblazing superstar the world has been unable to ignore for more than half a century.
Cher: The Memoir, Part One follows her extraordinary beginnings through childhood to meeting and marrying Sonny Bono-and reveals the behind the scenes story of the highly complicated relationship that made them world-famous, but eventually drove them apart.
This powerful autobiography reveals the daughter, the sister, the wife, the lover, the mother, and the superstar.
It is a life too immense for only one book.
- An Icon's Origin Story: Before the awards and superstardom, she was a dyslexic child who dreamed of being famous. This is the story of how that girl from a chaotic childhood became a trailblazer.
- The Real Sonny & Cher: Go behind the music to the very beginning of her partnership with Sonny Bono, discovering the complex, deeply personal relationship that created a global phenomenon and ultimately drove them apart.
- 1960s Music Scene: With trademark honesty and humor, Cher recounts her rise through the vibrant, chaotic world of 1960s Hollywood, from Gold Star Studios to topping the Billboard charts.
- Unfiltered & Uncensored: With her trademark humor and candor, Cher holds nothing back about her extraordinary beginnings, the fight to live on her own terms, and the making of a legend.
