•玛利亚·凯莉发行首张同名专辑30周年，发布个人回忆录

•年度具爆炸性的回忆录，一本真正意义的国际偶像回忆录

•讲述凯莉从童年到成为超级偶像的经历，以及媒体对她的流言蜚语

“我花了一辈子的时间，才鼓起勇气，用清醒的头脑写出了自己的回忆录。我想自己写我的故事，那些忘记的时刻，我的起起落落，成功和挫败，梦想和深渊。这一切，造就了今天的我。

尽管我的职业生涯和“公开”的私人生活中，已有无数个关于我的故事。但其实，一篇短短的杂志采访或者十分钟的电视访谈，都不可能交代清楚我经历过的复杂因素和深层原因。再者，在一层层媒体或其他渠道的润色或修改下，我原本想表达的意思已经变味了，更多地是朝着迎合大众如何定义我的方向去。

这本书是由我的记忆、不幸、挣扎、生存和歌曲组成的。未经修饰。我深入到我的童年经历，给我内心害怕的小女孩一个响亮的声音；让这个被遗忘而又雄心勃勃的女生说话；让这个被背叛过而又充满斗志的女性，说出自己的心声。

写这本回忆录的过程十分地困难，但又很治愈，让我变得更加谦逊。我真诚地希望，通过这本书，大家不仅对我有了新的理解，也对人类精神的坚韧有新的领悟。

爱你们，

玛利亚·凯莉”

A perfectly pitched modern pop autobiography, addressing tough, timely issues of racism, sexism, power and trauma with humanity and candour . . . With The Meaning of Mariah Carey, she proves once again that she is what she has always wanted to be: a class act ― Sunday Times

Carey’s memoir is an incisive, entertaining, and impressively well-written account of her road from poverty and obscurity to superstardom ― New Yorker

Mariah Carey’s memoir is her best performance yet ― Los Angeles Times

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 ten-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.
