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 ten-minute television interview. And even then, my words were filtered through someone else’s lens, largely satisfying someone else’s assignment to define me.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is composed of \u003ci\u003emy\u003c\/i\u003e memories, \u003ci\u003emy\u003c\/i\u003e mishaps, \u003ci\u003emy\u003c\/i\u003e struggles, \u003ci\u003emy\u003c\/i\u003e survival and \u003ci\u003emy\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWriting 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLove,\u003cbr\u003eMariah\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A full-circle triumph for Carey...
