About this listen

It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments - the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams - that contributed to the person I am today. Though there have been countless stories about me throughout my career and very public personal life, it’s been impossible to communicate the complexities and depths of my experience in any single magazine article or a 10-minute television interview. And even then, my words were filtered through someone else’s lens, largely satisfying someone else’s assignment to define me.

This 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 and triumphant woman I became tell her side.

Writing 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.

Love,

Mariah

I finished this book over the weekend, Mariah being my child hood crush. The way her story was narrated and told actually kept me engaged. You really do need to get this book and listen to the underlying messages of overcoming any obstacle, being a good human and appreciating god and those around you.

I thought I knew a lot about MC but hearing her tell her story herself and in her detail gave her songs a new meaning. Inspirational, even if you aren't a fan!

Gives her career story a whole new meaning!
