by Mariah Carey
First published 2020
Mariah Carey spent decades having her story told by others. Now she reclaims her narrative in this unfiltered memoir. She examines her troubled childhood, giving voice to the frightened girl she once was. She explores her adolescent years marked by abandonment and fierce ambition. Carey reveals the betrayals she faced as a woman in the music industry and how she survived them. The memoir traces her journey from scared child to triumphant artist. She shares memories that shaped her, mishaps that taught her, and struggles that strengthened her. Carey connects her personal experiences to the songs that made her famous. Writing this book proved difficult and humbling, but ultimately healing. She hopes readers will gain fresh understanding of her life and recognize the power of human resilience.
