The Meaning of Mariah Carey

By: Mariah Carey

Narrated by: Mariah Carey

It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments - the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams - that contributed to the person I am today. Though there have been countless stories about me throughout my career and very public personal life, it’s been impossible to communicate the complexities and depths of my experience in any single magazine article or a 10-minute television interview. And even then, my words were filtered through someone else’s lens, largely satisfying someone else’s assignment to define me.

This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival, and my songs. Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side.

Writing this memoir was incredibly hard, humbling and healing. My sincere hope is that you are moved to a new understanding, not only about me, but also about the resilience of the human spirit.

Love,

Mariah

This book explains so much. Thanks for sharing your truth! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute.

Fantastic

I rarely enjoy memoirs, but have found the memoirs of Will and Mariah to be exceptional!

I learned so much about Mariah’s life. She filled in the gaps on things the media didn’t have insight about over the years. I love how she folded music into so many of the chapters. Something, for her, I’m sure could have been done no other way.

The passion, the pain, the music, the transparency. I love her even more. Beautifully done.
