"I just totally chickened out," she revealed. "I didn’t put in some things that need to be in, and they’re not comfortable. But they need to be put in, so I have to go back and man up." She went on to explain the need for genuine, new, personal details, elaborating, "I’ve lived too long and done too much, and so it’s like it should be the encyclopedia."

"She dives into her issues with Sonny Bono," the insider revealed. "She’ll also take a look at her early years and a childhood that was chaotic at best, with her difficult relationship with her mother." Her subject matter also includes her children, including her relationship with 55-year-old Chaz, his transition, and her difficult relationship with 48-year-old Elijah Blue. Cher's fear has not yet subsided after making the decision to share such details, the insider confirmed, claiming, "Yes, she worries about how people are going to take it. But Cher figured if she was going to publish a memoir about her life, she might as well be transparent about it. This is her story, and it’s the only one she knows."
