Get ready butterflies, because Mariah Carey has finished writing her memoir, which she has described as โunfilteredโ, and admitted she found it โincredibly hard, humbling and healingโ to write.
Mariah insisted sheโs never been able to share her full story before, says her new book, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, will set the record straight on many misconceptions about her personal and public life and explained that she delved โdeepโ into her childhood and โgave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice.โ
Carey also described herself as becoming a โbetrayed womanโ after being โabandonedโ and she hopes her book will show others the โresilience of the human spiritโ.
In a letter to herself on the back cover of the tome, she wrote:
โIt took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments โ the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams, that contributed to the person I am today.โ
โThough there have been countless stories about me throughout my career and very public personal life, itโs been impossible to communicate the complexities and depths of my experience in any single magazine article or a ten-minute television interview.โ

โAnd even then, my words were filtered through someone elseโs lens, largely satisfying someone elseโs assignment to define me,โ she continues.
โThis book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival and my songs. Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed woman I became tell her side.โ
โWriting this memoir was incredibly hard, humbling and healing. My sincere hope is that you are moved to a new understanding, not only about me, but also about the resilience of the human spirit.โ
Carey worked on the memoir with Michaela Angela Davis and itโll be published under Andy Cohenโs book imprint.
