Oprah Memoir



Oprah’s Book Club 2016 SelectionThe highly anticipated new memoir by bestselling author Glennon Doyle Melton tells the story of her journey of self-discovery after the implosion of her marriage.Just when Glennon Doyle Melton was beginning to feel she had it all figured out&. Oprah, who had taken the memoir to heart back when she thought it was nonfiction, promoted it to best-sellerdom through her book club and went so far as to call Larry King Live to defend Frey during a show questioning the veracity of A Million Little Pieces. Oprah talks to Harvard-trained sociologist, world-renowned coach and New York Times bestselling author Martha Beck about her latest book 'The Way of Integrity: Finding the Path To Your True Self.' They discuss how living in alignment with our inner truth is the key to a purposeful and joyful life.

Oprah Winfrey talks on stage during her An Evening With Oprah tour on December 2, 2015 in Melbourne, Australia.

Oprah Winfrey has announced she will publish a new memoir, The Life You Want, weaving her own experiences together with advice and inspiration for her readers.

While Oprah has published several books before, including a collection of her columns for O, The OprahMagazine, What I Know for Sure, this is anticipated to be her definitive memoir. In a press release about the book, she wrote, “All of my experiences, even the painful ones, have been there to teach me something about life. I’m still learning and I hope my story inspires other people to live the highest, fullest expression of themselves.”

The book will be published by Flatiron Books, a division of Macmillan US, in January 2017. Oprah will also launch her own imprint with Flatiron, selecting several non-fiction books per year for publication.

Competition for the book, a likely bestseller, was rumored to be fierce; Deadline cited an unnamed source on Tuesday saying the deal had reached eight figures.
