Jada Pinkett Smith will release a memoir next fall about her rise to fame and “complicated marriage to Will Smith,” publisher Dey Street Books announced on Thursday.
The forthcoming book is billed as a “no holds barred” retelling of the influential actor and TV host’s “difficult but riveting journey ... from the depths of suicidal depression to the heights of personal rediscovery and the celebration of authentic feminine power.” A title for the memoir has yet to be revealed.
According to Dey Street Books, the book will include details about the “Red Table Talk” panelist’s “unconventional” Baltimore upbringing as the daughter of two parents struggling with addiction who studied theater and briefly dealt drugs before becoming a Hollywood star. The title will also explore Pinkett Smith’s close friendship with late rapper Tupac Shakur and her love story with Will Smith, as well as her “joyous embrace of motherhood.”
