Toni Braxton Announces Memoir ‘Unbreak My Heart’ / Due May

Toni Braxton‘s career is as illustrious as illustrious gets.

From dizzy chart heights to notable public lows, the diva has been through it all – tackling everything life throws her way with an air of class and determination.

Now, after years of many telling her story for her, the legendary songbird is set to share her experiences in her own words with new book ‘Unbreak My Heart: A Memoir’.

Due May 20th via Harper Collins, the project follows Braxton’s duet album with Babyface ‘Love, Marriage, & Divorce’ – which arrives on February 4th.

A sure-fire page-turner, an official synopsis awaits after the jump…

Via Harper Collins:

While Braxton appears to be living a gilded life—selling 60 million records, appearing in sold-out Las Vegas performances and hit shows like Dancing with the Stars, and starring in her own reality series—hers is in fact a tumultuous story, a tale of triumph over a life filled with obstacles, including two bankruptcy filings. The mother of an autistic child, Braxton long feared that her son’s condition might be karmic retribution for earlier life choices, some of which will shock fans. But when heart ailments began plaguing her at the age of 41 and she was diagnosed with Lupus, Braxton knew she had to move beyond the self-recrimination and take charge of her own healing.  Intensely honest and deeply inspirational, Unbreak My Heart is the never-before-told story of the measures Braxton took to make herself and her family whole again.

  2. NICKI IS QUEEN THE REST OF YOU ARE PEASANTS January 20, 2014

    who now?

  3. number1k9 January 20, 2014

    Perfect name for a book by her!

  4. The Brooklyn Bombshell January 20, 2014

    This hurts me to say but I have to. Tony Braxton is a legend, however, she’s about two doses of Nyquil in the personality department. I doubt this book will be a page turner. Watching her on BFV is so painful because she portrayed this sultry diva and acts like MOTHA GOOSE off stage… She needed her sisters on her reality show, especially TRACI and TAMAR The Braxton. sorry not sorry.

  5. Aguilera January 20, 2014

    …..and Tamar has a larger than life personality but is a church mouse onstage! Toni is a legend and this book will be a best seller!

  6. Tamara January 20, 2014

    It’s so funny how someone can come on here and judge something and someone without taking a chance to even read the book you never know what she will reveal in this book and toni is a LEGEND,ICON,TRENDSETTER and has been through hell and back her story can be an inspiration to many people stop judging and being so damn negative. I love toni and I’m so proud she hasn’t given up on herself.

  7. NT January 20, 2014

    GREAT title , i’m going to read the book.

    Toni Braxton has sold 60 Million RECORDS, not singles but RECORDS with only 7 albums to her name and that includes her Christmas album. Tamartians need to stop putting Braxton against Braxton because TONI put the name on the map and it’s because of TONI that The Braxtons secured their group deal, and then Tamar for her two solo albums and Christmas album. It’s because of Toni that there is even a reality show and a spin off for Tamar. The Rihanna stans aka The Navy need to not go there because your girl has sold 120 million singles and just barely made 30 [most of them shipped with the exception of GGGB] and she’s had 7 albums in 8 years.

  9. IKNOWTHETRUTH January 20, 2014

    And that’s over the period of over 20 years in the industry.

  10. Danny Arguello January 20, 2014

    Tamar only sold 311k

  11. ENOUGH ONIKA (NEW & IMPROVED) January 20, 2014

    Beautiful! I will purchase. @BrooklynBombshell you need to research many musical geniuses such Michael Jackson. They’re usually introverts and private. Those who are “over the top” in the personality department have to be because their so called “talent” alone won’t cut it i.e. Rihanna, Gaga, Miley and that dinosaur Madonna…

  12. FutureCIARA January 20, 2014

    I’ve heard her story 931828193912 TIMES!!!!

    Whats so new that you had to pay someone to write a memoir about you????

    Im sorry, I like Toni. I just dont see it for this project. She could have just did another VH1 documentary an hour long, retelling all the horrible things she went through during her career.

    Its time to stop waiting on people to feel sorry for your career, and to just continue on with your life. Stop with the sad stories already, you’ve made history… I think its time for her to help someone else so they dont go through the same thing, Maybe Tamar needs your support 100% now more than ever.

    Shes just searching for more sympathy with this one, Im sorry I will not be purchasing this memoir. Anything in there I can find out for FREE on the internet anyway!

  13. Kelis January 20, 2014

    Yes! Cant wait to read this book! Hope she does Book Signing,Love Toni!

    @TGJ

    Kylie Minogue Leaks New Single “Into The Blue”….

    Post about it!

    @Doll Phace Mua I dont know too many Tamar stans that would throw shade at her older sister. Im a Tamar stan, but I’ve also been a Toni fan for years, and I wish her much more success

  16. ratedxxx(next broad) January 20, 2014

    I’m a huge fan of toni Braxton and all..(never watch her show)

    but umm what else is there to tell?…you lost a lot of your money because you were spending macy’s money at barneys and saks…

    your husband was a lying cheating dog…unless there’s some h** shid in there..meh

  17. MadBrax January 20, 2014

    why? it sucks bad

  18. anonymous January 20, 2014

    Toni I cant wait for your new album with Babyface. You are a legend.

  19. ENOUGH ONIKA (NEW & IMPROVED) January 20, 2014

    @RatedXX Why don’t you wait until it comes out to find out what else she has to say…

  20. ratedxxx(next broad) January 21, 2014

    I understand toni is just trying to make some paper..but this book is years, many years too late…

    like I said unless she’s going to write about fugging for tracks, doing h** shid to get a hit..the book ain’t gonna do well.

    because the majority of her fans already knows what happened to her

  21. anonymous January 21, 2014

    @Danny Arguello so what and whats your point??? R&B Music doesnt sell much these days anyway, unless you’re Beyonce or Rihanna, so the fact that she sold 311k so far are good numbers for an r&b artist in 2014. she passed up a lot of other r&b artists sales and is still on the charts. she’s number 13 on the hip hop/r&b albums charts.

  22. kim sims January 21, 2014

    I think Toni Braxton is very much a lady to start with. she is the whole package ,she is beautiful ,well mannered ,poised ,talented in many ways, and dresses the part. even when she dresses s*** it is tastful.I have learned alot about the braxtons ,and i like them. no one in the world is perfect,we are all human. so why dont you ugly haters leave this wonderful talented woman alone!!!!! God bless you Toni and your family! love HURT YOU Kim Sims

  23. Leo January 21, 2014

    LUV her to life!

  24. casandra shue January 21, 2014

    That’s where you have this all wrong tho. Her personality is great on stage and in interviews. The show was done mainly for her sisters to shine. I cant say much about the other sisters performing on stage, because they do not give much. I can’t compare a scripted reality show with life experiences. Her sisters need her to get a reality show and she agrees to it. Toni B has nothing to prove, I rather her personality shines on stage, singing is what her career was built on.

    You know who this is, @nicki is queen the rest are peasants. She is the one who has more than 66 MILLION albums sold WW; 6 Grammys, 7 AMAs and 9 BMAs. She is the one who has starred on Broadway, TWICE, headlined her own sold out Vegas show, and also starred in Dancing With The Stars. She is the one who has had MULTIPLE number one singles on the Billboard chart. She’s the one who CURRENTLY has a hit reality TV series. 🙂

    Oh, wait, what has Nicki accomplished? Come to me when she’s close to Toni’s level. Until then, carry on, peasant.

  27. Carlitos January 21, 2014

    @ FutureCiara, It’s a memoir, you dumb ass! There are untold stories in the book that the internet does and will not have. You’re too incompetent to even be on Toni’s level. I’m pretty sure you couldn’t even comprehend 1/3 of it. Bless your heart, you poor little peasant.

    FYI, I’m pretty sure you can’t purchase the book with your EBT card. Carry on.
