About This Book
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 intimate detail, in a two-part memoir. 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 longtime 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, 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. The Memoir, Part One follows her extraordinary beginnings through childhood to meeting and marrying Sonny Bono—and reveals the highly complicated relationship that made them world-famous, but eventually drove them apart. The Memoir reveals the daughter, the sister, the wife, the lover, the mother, and the superstar. It is a life too immense for only one book.
Reviews
"The best sort of company in stormy times."
"It's such a terrific story, so it's a shame the writing is too often so unlike Cher's charismatic voice ..."
"Her hearteningly profane voice still emerges and, with it, the question of why she's writing a memoir in the first place."
"A fun read, a candid and well-written book that will justifiably make her legion of fans excited for the release of the second volume."
"Here's to a sequel with sequins, expected in 2025."
"Only sometimes, when, among the forensically detailed recollections, there's a sneaking sense of the real Cher, the one we're very keen to get to know, standing behind carefully frosted glass."
"A bracing read, peppered with caustic quips and self-effacing anecdotes, but fundamentally frank ..."
"A truly great celebrity memoir."
