Bristol Palin to write the book of her life

Sarah Palin’s daughter seals deal for memoir which will track her coming of age, being a single mom and coping with a relationship breakdown in public.

BRISTOL PALIN has been given a book deal to write her memoirs.

The daughter of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin has signed with William Morrow to publish ‘Not Afraid of Life’, to come out this summer. Morrow, an imprint of HarperCollins, has announced that the memoir would provide “an inside look at her life”.

A spokesperson for William Morrow:

Bristol gives readers an intimate behind-the-scenes look at her life for the first time, from growing up in Alaska to coming of age amid the media and political frenzy surrounding her mother’s political rise; from becoming a single mother while still a teenager to coping as her relationship with her baby’s father crumbled publicly — not once, but twice.

A listing for the book briefly appeared last month on Amazon.com and on an online HarperCollins spreadsheet. HarperCollins has published two best-sellers by Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential candidate in 2008: ‘Going Rogue’ and ‘America by Heart’.

Bristol Palin, 20, has become a celebrity in her own right, through her broken relationship with her child’s father, Levi Johnston, and through her time as a contestant on Dancing With the Stars.

“Bristol talks about the highs and lows of her appearance on ABC-TV’s Dancing With the Stars, including the aching hours of practice, the biting criticisms, and the thrill of getting to the show’s finals,” Morrow announced.

She speaks candidly of her aspirations for the future and the deep religious faith that gives her strength and inspiration. Plainspoken and disarmingly down to earth, Bristol offers new insight and understanding of who she is and what she values most.

Morrow did not disclose how much Palin will be paid in the book deal.
