Justin Bieber`s mother is to release her memoir
Pattie Mallette has signed a deal for her book `Nowhere But Up: The Story of Justin Bieber`s Mom` - which will tell of her experiences as a single parent in Ontario, Canada, where she raised the 18-year-old superstar.
Giving his blessing to the project, Justin will write the foreword in the novel while Pattie - who fell pregnant with her only child aged 18 - will reveal how she battled abuse and addiction in her childhood and teenage years before attempting suicide at 17.
Jennifer Leep, Editorial Director for publisher Revell, said in a statement: "Pattie`s story is a powerful example of courage and determination that will inspire anyone who has faced struggles in life."
Pattie, 37, travels everywhere with her son, who says she doesn`t let him get away with things just because he is famous.
He told BBC Radio 1: "We argue yes, I think every parent and son argue, but I love my mom.
"The other day she cancelled my phone plan. We got into an argument about something stupid, and she was like, `Give me the phone` and I was like, `No`, so she just went and cancelled it."
The book is scheduled for a September 18 release.
