Bristol Palin's new book titled "Not Afraid of Life"
NEW YORK (AP) -- It's official: Bristol Palin has a book deal.

The daughter of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin has signed with William Morrow to publish "Not Afraid of Life," to come out this summer. Morrow, an imprint of HarperCollins, announced Tuesday that the memoir would provide "an inside look at her life."

"Bristol gives readers an intimate behind-the-scenes look at her life for the first time, from growing up in Alaska to coming of age amid the media and political frenzy surrounding her mother's political rise; from becoming a single mother while still a teenager to coping as her relationship with her baby's father crumbled publicly -- not once, but twice," according to Morrow.

A listing for the book briefly appeared last month on Amazon.com and on an online HarperCollins spreadsheet. HarperCollins has published two best-sellers by Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential candidate in 2008: "Going Rogue" and "America by Heart."

7. And the cult of Palin
will put the meaningless ramblings of Sarah's offspring on the best seller list. :puke: And Bristol, sarah and the ghostwriters will be laughing all the way to the bank.

You betcha.

11. For not being afraid of life she sure is afraid of her mama.
I remember her doing an interview with ole Greta and then Balin Palin came stomping in. Bristol literally paled, looked like a moose caught in Sarah's crosshairs. :scared:

12. Really, why would they think anyone gives a shit about what an ignorant
Barely-twenty-something thinks about life? The publishers are as delusional as the Palins.

38. Justin Bieber's book would have to be far more interesting
I know you don't LIKE him, but he seems to have worked hard to get to where he is, and a lot of people are currently employed because of him.

Bristol Palin's only claim to fame is being the daughter of a woman who's trying to kill every pack of wolves in Alaska but the one that's raising her children.

"She speaks candidly of her aspirations for the future and the deep religious faith that gives her strength and inspiration."

The cult will lap that one up!

Edited on Wed Mar-02-11 09:23 AM by BlueIris
What an embarrassing, snide little shit of a "mother" they are stuck with. This is the kind of person I don't want raising a hamster, let alone any actual kids.

Sad. Really, really sad.
