The country superstar announced Wednesday that she will write a tell-all autobiography, set to be published next spring by Atria books.

Along with her split  from Lange, Twain 's book will discuss her difficult childhood, including the death of her mother. She'll also chronicle her rise to become one of the top-sellers in music.

Twain, whose 14-year marriage with Lange ended in 2008 after he allegedly had an affair with their secretary and the manager of their Swiss chateau, says recent struggles created a "sudden urgency to document my life before I ran out of time."

The two officially divorced in Juneand Twain has since moved on with a new man, Frederic Thiebaud, who is the ex-husband of Lange's supposed mistress.

The Grammy winner shot to fame in the 1990s with hits like "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" and "You're Still the One." She's due to have her own TV series, airing on Oprah Winfrey's new OWN network, next year.
