The Woman in Me is a brave and astonishingly moving story about freedom, fame, motherhood, survival, faith, and hope.
In June 2021, the whole world was listening as Britney Spears spoke in open court. The impact of sharing her voice—her truth—was undeniable, and it changed the course of her life and the lives of countless others. The Woman in Me reveals for the first time her incredible journey—and the strength at the core of one of the greatest performers in pop music history.
Written with remarkable candor and humor, Spears’s groundbreaking book illuminates the enduring power of music and love—and the importance of a woman telling her own story, on her own terms, at last.

oldest children; her husband Olympic champion Bruce Jenner's
pivotal role in ending the Kardashians' messy divorce so they could
all move forward as a family; her close relationships with Nicole
Brown Simpson and O. J. Simpson and her insider knowledge about the

Kerwin's youth was riddled with adversity, which culminated in a
criminal record. Doomed to fail, he decided to fight for his goal
of attaining remarkable success. This intimate biography of a young
man's struggle to ascend the socio-economic ladder will propel you
to rise and pursue your dreams.
In this instant "New York Times" bestseller, Misty Copeland makes
history as the only African American soloist dancing with the
prestigious American Ballet Theatre. But when she first placed her
hands on the barre at an after-school community center, no one
expected the undersized, anxious thirteen-year-old to become a
groundbreaking ballerina.
When she discovered ballet, Misty was living in a shabby motel
room, struggling with her five siblings for a place to sleep on the
floor. A true prodigy, she was dancing en pointe within three
months of taking her first dance class and performing
professionally in just over a year: a feat unheard of for any
classical dancer. But when Misty became caught between the control
and comfort she found in the world of ballet and the harsh
realities of her own life (culminating in a highly publicized
custody battle), she had to choose to embrace both her identity and
her dreams, and find the courage to be one of a kind.
"Life in Motion" is an insider's look at the cutthroat world of
professional ballet, as well as a moving story of passion and grace
for anyone who has dared to dream of a different life.
