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 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.
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

##身为近25年的粉丝,有许多事也直到读完这本自传才知道。因为是粉丝,所以更加容易connect, Sleepover night被白人女孩霸凌,Glitter章节里Pat报警,父亲病故,这三段印象最深刻,Glitter那段让人窒息,父亲和结尾部分读的眼泪奔涌。非常真诚直接,虽然有点细碎,但这真是粉丝想要的detail. 还有牛姐就是形容词百科全书
