Description

Cher: The Memoir, Part One is an immersive and dynamic audiobook experience, perfectly suited to this remarkable memoir. Narrated in part by Cher herself, the book features an introduction and chapter openings read by the legendary artist. Acclaimed stage actor Stephanie J. Block, who won a Tony Award, Drama Desk Award, and Outer Critics Circle Award for her portrayal of Cher in The Cher Show on Broadway, joins in to continue the storytelling.

Together, Cher and Stephanie alternate narration throughout the chapters, delivering a distinctive audiobook experience that fully transports listeners into this chapter of Cher’s life. From her earliest childhood memories to her fateful meeting with Sonny Bono and their meteoric rise to fame, through the heartbreak of their divorce, her relationship with Gregg Allman, and her quest for independence—this memoir is a deeply personal exploration of creativity, individuality, motherhood, love, and loss, told as only Cher can.

“Being part of Cher’s memoir as a narrator has been an incredible honor,” says Block. “Her life is a mesmerizing mix of glamour, unexpected turns, triumphs, and heartbreak. This book gives readers a rare glimpse behind the curtain of what makes her an icon.”

Cher adds, “Because of my dyslexia, I knew I wouldn’t be able to do the entire audiobook on my own. Then I thought of Stephanie, who embodied me so beautifully on Broadway. She was the perfect choice to capture my essence, and within hours of my call, she made adjustments to her schedule to start recording. Having her tell my story alongside me felt right, and she did a wonderful job.”
