About this listen

Cher: The Memoir, Part One promises to be an engaging and exciting audiobook experience, befitting this incredible book. Read in part by Cher herself, the book is introduced, and each chapter launched, by the author. Rounding out each chapter as she continues the narrative is celebrated stage actor Stephanie J. Block. Stephanie starred on Broadway in The Cher Show for which she won a Tony Award, Drama Desk Award, and Outer Critics Circle Award. Together, Cher and Stephanie share the storytelling duties, alternating within the chapters to create a unique audiobook treatment that will bring listeners fully into this period of Cher’s life—from her earliest childhood memories, to her meeting Sonny and their ascent into superstardom, her painful divorce from Bono, her relationship with Gregg Allman and her reach for independence. It is a story of creativity, individuality, motherhood, love, and loss, as only Cher could recount.

“Lending my voice to help deliver Cher’s memoir has been an honor and a thrill. Her life is fascinating, glamorous, surprising, exciting… and at times, completely heartbreaking. Her story is a beautiful balance of ULTIMATE stardom and accessibility. She is CHER for a reason and this book helps the reader get behind ‘the reason,’” says Block.

“When it came to completing the audiobook, I knew I wouldn't be able to do it all myself due to my dyslexia. But then I thought of Stephanie, who won the Tony for playing me on Broadway in The Cher Show. I knew she would be the perfect choice to get across to the reader the essence of me. I called her and within hours she re-arranged her schedule to start the recording. I felt so safe having her help share my story, and she did a beautiful job,” says Cher.

Worth the time

I truly enjoyed the book, it feels very much like an insider story. The good and the bad are equally shared . Much of the story I had never heard before.

I wish though the double narrator concept had been stopped. Either Cher or the alternate would have been fine. HoweverI found myself distracted by the change in voices.

Would happily have gone on to part II, Perhaps both volumes should have been released together.

Man, I love Cher

God is a woman, and she is Cher. Also, Sonny Bono is public enemy number 1

Cher’s honesty and humour

Unbelievable resilience of Cher despite adversity. Women can be proud and learn by her example.

A fascinating life

Enjoyed the book but found two narrators disconcerting - would have much preferred if Cher narrated the entire book. I do understand her decision to have Stephanie co-narrate but nonetheless it detracted from the experience.

I loved her vulnerability and her honesty

I loved everything. I have been a Cher fan since The Sonny & Cher show started when I was 9. I loved that show and her outfits, hair and make up. I followed her through movie mags, talk shows, as there was no social media and thankfully my mom was a fan too, so she bought the magazines.
Listening to the book and being able to think I remember that skit, I remember that outfit, was cool. But also heartbreaking to find out in this book how she was feeling or being treated but still performing and entertaining us all.
I can't wait for the 2nd part.
Cher has always been down to earth, honest, funny, even while struggling sometimes and shown so much resilience through her life. Never staying down for long. I have seen her in concert in Calgary, Edmonton and Vegas. She will forever be my favorite celebrity! ❤️
