The superstar's memoir will be released in the fall, and industry insiders have called it as "inspiring" and a "groundbreaking instant best-seller."
According to one source, "Britney's book is a triumphant story." It will detail her most sensitive moments, her childhood as a little girl with huge hopes, her break-up with Justin Timberlake, the moment she shaved her head, and her battle with her family over her conservatorship.
""It is also a story of survival, of finding her way out of the crippling conservatorship and finding happiness with her husband Sam Ashgari."
Spears has been working with ghostwriter Sam Lansky, a famous author and journalist who has written for The Atlantic, New York Magazine, Time, and has chronicled celebrities like as Madonna, Nicki Minaj, and Adele..

And her publisher Simon & Schuster is said to be "thrilled" with the yet-unnamed tome, which is now complete and going through final legal revisions for a planned release ahead of the holidays.
The source told us, "Britney's book is brutally honest and from the heart. No stone is left unturned. Its truly a female empowerment story – her taking control of her life."
A second publishing source said, "This book is a gift….There are parts of this book that every person—particularly every woman—can relate to and feel less alone. She transforms joy and pain into something transcendent: art.

"This is an inspiring read, not only because it shows the strength of Britney's spirit, but because her story is told with such style, wit, intelligence, honesty, and without any self-pity. She is entirely winning in these pages.
"This book will….shake the world. I believe that it will also be a groundbreaking instant bestseller."
Page Six exclusively revealed that Spears landed a landmark $15 million book deal sealed by Creative Artists Agency and her attorney Mathew Rosengart.
It is one of the highest in history after Barack and Michelle Obama's publishing deals.
Spears herself has hinted on social media how she wants this book to show herself as a survivor.
"I'm in love with the life I've built for myself!!!" she recently said on Instagram. I should be, it's f**king stunning… and it's quite strange after all the hard work I've put in to overcome my father's abuse and control, seriously toying with my head after 13 years, believe it or not people!!!"
She also wrote, "Having this new found independence gives me strength every day and the ability to stay hungry, focused, fearless, and honestly just be a good person."

Spears said, "I don't have a family that values or respects me…. AT ALL!!!" That was the most difficult aspect for me, and as much as I loved them, it's something I'll probably never be able to get over. When I write at those moments, I just want to speak from the bottom of my heart because it's so difficult for me, and then I look back and see how many people tell me to "get over it"… I'm trying hard to get stronger!!! Psst, I wrote three different versions of my book and went through a LOT of therapy in the process."
