Audible Deep Dive: Audiobooks to Put on Your Radar
In her new memoir, Cher talks love, motherhood, loss and triumph — from her earliest childhood memories to her marriage and divorce from Sonny Bono and forging her own path as a solo artist. The book also details Cher’s relationship with rocker Gregg Allman, motherhood and her bout for independence.
The audiobook is read in part by Cher and narrated by Tony Award-winning actress Stephanie J. who starred in The Cher Show. Cher and Brooks alternate between chapters creating a “unique audiobook treatment” to immerse listeners into her life story.
“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,” Cher explained. “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.”
Reflecting on life lessons, Palmer goes into teaching mode with Master of Me: The Secret to Controlling Your Narrative. Read in her own words, the actress-singer-host gets candid about her struggles with boundaries, unconditional love, forgiveness and feeling worthy.
“Don’t block your blessings and potential opportunities by allowing the voices of other people to influence your actions,” notes Palmer. “How you’re choosing to set yourself up for success is between you and the person looking back at you in the mirror.”
Other entertainment-focused releases available on Audible include The Mysterious Affair of Styles featuring actor Peter Dinklage, You Never Know by actor Tom Selleck, Stanley Tucci’s Taste, Britney Spears’ The Woman in Me, Trevor Noah’s Born a Crime, Mariah Carey’s Portrait of a Portrait and George Orwell’s 1984: An Audible Original Adaptation narrated by Cynthia Erivo, Tom Hardy and Andrew Garfield.
