Cher: The Memoir, Part One | Cher
5 posts | 4 read | 6 to read
The extraordinary life of Cher can be told by only one person . . . Cher herself. After more than seventy years of fighting to live her life on her own terms, Cher finally reveals her true story in intimate detail, in a two-part memoir. Her remarkable career is unique and unparalleled. The only woman to top Billboard charts in seven consecutive decades, she is the winner of an Academy Award, an Emmy, a Grammy, and a Cannes Film Festival Award, and an inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame who has been lauded by the Kennedy Center. She is a longtime activist and philanthropist. As a dyslexic child who dreamed of becoming famous, Cher was raised in often-chaotic circumstances, surrounded by singers, actors, and a mother who inspired her in spite of their difficult relationship. With her trademark honesty and humor, Cher: The Memoir traces how this diamond in the rough succeeded with no plan and little confidence to become the trailblazing superstar the world has been unable to ignore for more than half a century. Cher: The Memoir, Part One follows her extraordinary beginnings through childhood to meeting and marrying Sonny Bono—and reveals the highly complicated relationship that made them world-famous, but eventually drove them apart. Cher: The Memoir reveals the daughter, the sister, the wife, the lover, the mother, and the superstar. It is a life too immense for only one book.

Longwinded but pretty good. Part one takes you through her childhood and to about age 30. It was pretty cool to hear about all the young artists crossing paths in L.A. before they were the household names they are today. And all the colorful relationships with men in her life. Cher has dyslexia, so for the audiobook Cher reads part of each chapter and the rest is narrated by Stephanie Block, the actress who won a Tony for playing Cher on Broadway.

Cher's memoir, Cher, is a triumphant, intimate, and utterly captivating journey through the extraordinary life of a true icon. This book is so much more than just a celebrity memoir; it's a raw and honest account of a woman who defied expectations, broke down barriers, and constantly reinvented herself throughout her decades-long career.

In 1999, I was watching Cher's episode of Behind the Music. During that interview, she was asked about why she dates younger men. She responded, "If I was a man, we wouldn't even have this conversation. And that sucks out loud." In that moment, I realized the power of women when they don't give a f*** and speak their minds. From that moment on, I was obsessed.

Ruthiella I idolized Cher when I was a kid in the 1970s. 1mo
TheBookHippie As a teenager she was GOALS. Because she was so outspoken. Love. 1mo
TheBookHippie @Ruthiella right?!?! So memorizing. 1mo
