“Cher: The Memoir, Part One” by Cher

With her upcoming memoir, Cher can finally turn back time.

“Cher: The Memoir, Part One” will be published Nov. 19, splitting the story of the 78-year-old Hollywood icon into two parts ahead of a second installment to be released next year. Cher’s accolades and achievements stretch across almost every sect of the entertainment industry, with an Academy Award, Emmy Award and Grammy Award to her name. She is also the only woman to hit No. 1 on a Billboard chart in seven consecutive decades, a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and a lifelong philanthropist focused on causes for wildlife and children with facial deformities.

The first segment of Cher’s story is set to chronicle her early life, rise to stardom and tumultuous marriage to fellow entertainer Sonny Bono. Born in El Centro, California, in 1946, Cher grappled with dyslexia as a child and relocated to Los Angeles at age 16 before marrying Bono in 1964. Before their divorce in 1975, the pair became internationally recognizable as the duo Sonny & Cher through several hit singles in the 1960s and the television program “The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour” in the 1970s.

If the memoir’s pages possess the same dynamism Cher has brought to her legendary career, readers are sure to believe in her talent and artistry for years to come.
