Jennifer Lopez to Publish First Book, Autobiography Titled “True Love”

Latina singer and actress Jennifer Lopez on Nov. 4 will publish her first book, an autobiographical work entitled “True Love,” in which she reviews one of the key periods of her life, the Penguin Group’s Celebra publishing division announced.

The book initially had been scheduled to go on sale on Oct. 28, but its release was postponed until the first week in November.

“True Love” – which will hit the market at the same time in both Spanish and English editions – will be in the form of a personal diary and will include never-before-published photos.

“Writing ‘True Love’ has been a deeply cathartic, personal, and vulnerable experience. If it were not for the love and courage given to me by my children” this story would not have been possible, Lopez said.

The singer said that she had a lot of doubts about whether or not to publish the book, but finally she decided to do so because of the possibility it presented for her to connect emotionally with readers.

If she could get to just one person, then writing the book would become one of the most satisfying efforts of her life, JLo said.

“True Love” focuses on the two-year period during which Lopez says she faced her “greatest challenges” as an artist and as a mother, identified her biggest fears and emerged as a stronger person, according to the publisher.

A percentage of the sales proceeds will go to The Lopez Family Foundation, which is focused on improving the health and well being of women and children.
