The Meaning of Mariah Carey by Mariah Carey Book Summary

The Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller

The global icon, award-winning singer, songwriter, producer, actress, mother, daughter, sister, storyteller, and artist finally tells the unfiltered story of her life in The Meaning of Mariah Carey

It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments - the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams, that contributed to the person I am today. Though there have been countless stories about me throughout my career and very public personal life, it’s been impossible to communicate the complexities and depths of my experience in any single magazine article or a ten-minute television interview. And even then, my words were filtered through someone else’s lens, largely satisfying someone else’s assignment to define me.

This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival and my songs. Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side.

Writing this memoir was incredibly hard, humbling and healing. My sincere hope is that you are moved to a new understanding, not only about me, but also about the resilience of the human spirit.

Love,
Mariah

Amazing. While I was reading it I got so many goose bumps so many times. I always felt very connected to Mariah Carey BACK in 2006 when I came to the USA. After I heard her voice I became her number one fan however, there was a spiritual connection as well and today I know why upon finishing reading her book. Mariah, we love you and keep being the strong person that you are! It amazes me all that you have gone through and still how you manage to be a being of light. I can connect with your story in so many ways but JUST LIKE YOU I keep holding on to faith and I don’t ever let them take that away from me. I hope you keep healing because I do know sometimes there are BACK lashes but God is great and those two beautiful children, which I myself also have two kids, are the reason to keep shining and pushing through. That shied that you created to protect yourself will forever be your guard and use it every time you want to because your peace doesn’t have a price. Don’t let them put a tag on it! Love you; your number one fan dahhhling. And here is for mire festivities and amazing moments to come!!!

Every page I was more shocked than the next.. We see her as this diva who has it all and that may be true... however, this book showed us that she came from less than nothing and somehow overcame it all. If there is just wasn’t chapter to read it would be “Dandelion Tea.” Drugged my her sister, almost raped at a drive thru at 12 & three degree burns by hot tea being thrown at her it is so sad yet so encouraging to people struggling.

Loved!!. I loved this book!!! It took me on a spree of re-listening to all of my Mariah favorites for weeks! It was interesting to learn about her life and how amazing she is! I love her!! 💕🦋

Mariah is a GENIUS!. Wow, crazy how amongst all of her albums she goes back and writes about the pain and struggles she faced with family, the industry, and relationships. I love that about Mariah! I’m so happy she gave us insight back story on some of the most favorite songs of hers today we know today. This memoir is simply incredible! Brava Brava Brava ! Wow simply amazing! Mariah you did it! Keep on doing it! Thank you for inspiring me and so many others! Love you! Hope to meet you soon!

A Masterpiece. This book truly defines one self story through the lenses of oneself. Mariah gave her all in this book with truly remarkable moments in her life whether they were dark or life time achievements. Thank You Mariah for inspiring me and I know it will inspire others! A true masterpiece!

So good. Love it

Title was fine but misleading.. I was very disappointed. In fact, I could not get through the whole book. It seemed to be a “woe is me” book which I found less than interesting. I wish Mariah better luck next time.

A story of unbelievable Strength courage and faith.... I’ve read many of stories but not quite like this one. Mariah Carey is a superstar by far one of the greatest. Knowing her story makes her even more phenomenal. I feel closer to her after reading her words.

Speechless. I had no idea about her full story. I could not put this book down. I am grateful that she shared her story. I have a new level of respect, empathy, and connection to her. It was very deep no platitudes or fillers; she went to her core.

Finally, She Speaks. Her voice is finally free. - a fan since 1990

Inspired. I have to say that of course I know who you are, but never had an opinion. UNTIL NOW. I didn’t want this book to end. You are truly an inspiration to all ages. God put you here on this earth for obvious reasons, your truth, generosity, music and guidance. Girl, you tackled everything he put in front of you,good an bad. Well, gonna go listen to some MC.

Ahhhhmazing!. READ THIS BOOK! Thank you MC for sharing your story with all of us LAMBS. You’re music has been the soundtrack to my life since day one - if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be here right now. Thank you for your truth and honesty and proving we all can “Make It Through The Rain” (I could go on and on but I need to re-read this) #lambily4life

Must Read. I absolutely loved this book, couldn’t put it down! Her story just captures your heart, I have always been a Mariah fan but after reading her autobiography I have so much respect for her talents, and determination .

Bravo 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Mariah Carey is one of the rare of living legends that seem to be dying off. I’m glad she has gotten a chance to tell her story in “her words” And most importantly that she is getting her flowers while she’s still here. This is such a touching book, that make you cry, laugh, gasp, angry etc. Bravo Mariah!

Wow just wow. What a beautiful way to get to know a diva on a deeper level. Understanding her and relating to her through her story so well written. Highly recommended it

Touching, moving, inspiring!. What an inspirational and phenomenal look into the life of world renowned superstar, Mariah Carey. I loved her before but I have a deep admiration and respect for her after learning of her trials and tribulations and how she overcame them through faith, love and her unending trust in God. I cried from this book, I laughed from this book but most of all- I learned from this book. God bless Mariah Carey!

Thank you Mariah. Thank you Mariah for sharing your truth. It’s only when we tell our stories, we are set free. I loved you from the beginning of your career and even more now as the woman you are! Keep reppin for us! God bless!

Best book!. I’m usually not a reader but I could not put this down! If you are a Mariah fan you will LOVE this book! Even if you are not a fan it’s amazing! Her stories about her childhood made me cry my eyes out! This is the most hardcore and honest book you will not want to put it down. I am going to read it again!

She’s done it again. A fabulous look into the person behind the star. An introspective account that confirms what fans have assumed for years and casts doubt aside. Truly illuminating and entertaining.

AMAZING. THIS IS EVERYTHING!!!!!

Outstanding!. Fantastic read. Made me love her even more!

Dem book. I’m not going to lie - I have always loved the music but not always the outward persona of Mariah Carey. This book made me really understand Mariah as a person & as a creative soul. Thank you for being so honest - it was a pleasure getting to know you & your journey. God Bless you & your family!

Love! Thank You for Sharing🙏🏽💞. Mariah definitely dives in a little deeper in giving us her family background, deep thoughts from childhood and life experiences that inspired her songs that we all love! Love that she’s kept her faith in God and continued to follow her calling or we wouldn’t have these songs! Love the book dahling🙏🏽💞

The Strength to Carey On. This book is an honest and open memoir by the best selling female artist of all time. From struggle, pain and betrayal she found strength and resilience, her story is anchored in Faith that as Mimi shares “can’t be defined but it has defined me”. I have personally gifted over a dozen copies to family, friends and patients (as a psychiatrist/therapist) because I knew it would speak to each of them in some way, and it also gave them a more whole understanding of my sincere and consistent respect and unconditional love for Mariah through the years. The book validates that for all those who might say “her music saved my life”, it is genuinely mutual. Behind the layers of “Diva” is a deep and beautiful spirit of a woman and a wayward child that has a lot to say and share. Personally, I will be re-reading this for years to come. I will also look forward to part 2, 3 and 4 :) #L4L

Sooooo Good. I loved reading it, I simply adore MC.

Good book. I loved the book! The photos at the end were beautiful but I wish they were bigger. I couldn't zoom in :(

Best Act Yet. If you were really interested in getting to know Mrs. Carey then this is the book for you. I’ve been a fan since I was nine years old and I am now 41 years of age… Nothing prepared me for this book it is such a brilliant body of work.

I would choose different read. Save your time. This book has left no impression on me. She makes herself the victim in every story she tells and it seems much like a pity party of a story and doesn’t feed into how she’s overcame much. There were some points where I sat the book down for days at a time because of how self absorbed it seemed. I wouldn’t recommend buying this and if I owned the hard copy i wouldn’t loan it , nor give it away to be read. I was very disappointed with how it was wrote. Half the book is about her first marriage and it was the same repeat story over and over in a different year at a different event without digging deeper into feelings thoughts.

I’m amazing. Her book is just amazing, has a fan of her. Her song lyrics tells her story. I’m glad she did this. She’s forever a great writer. Thank you Mariah

Songbird Supreme 🦋🤍. The book was amazing. It was incredible to be able to her story told from her point of view. It’s amazing how she can still tap in to her inner child and share her story with us.

Finally know the real meaning of Mariah. A+ book. Find a comfy spot, a box of tissue and a glass of wine.... Thank you Mariah, for giving anyone with a scared, sad and abusive childhood the strength and the courage to be brave and speak up! Thank you for always helping those who can’t help themselves their your music, lyrics and now this masterpiece

Wow- truly inspirational for anyone. I did not expect this to be as good as it is. Mariah truly shocked me with how open and honest she is. How raw. Her story is one of inspiration for anyone.

A lesson in faith. As a lifelong lamb, there were not many revelations in this book that I hadn’t suspected. The painful familial relationships, the suffocating marriage, the racial isolation have been in Mariah’s music all along, and I KNOW the catalog, dahhhling! That said, I was riveted the entire way through this book. Mariah owns the telling of these stories, and balances unflinching honesty with that meme-able humor we all know so well. She describes events as they impacted her, giving us an understanding of how she ticks and how she survives. As she chronicles her journey of survival and success, Mariah lays out a blueprint for employing faith to navigate any sort of struggle, any kind of pain. Thank you, MC for sharing your story with us for the past 30 years! It’s exactly why “you’ll always be a part of me” 🎶🦋

Real Treat for the Lambs. No Wendy, these aren’t stories we’ve heard before. Mariah takes us deep into her childhood and shares some very personal, raw, and untold stories. She even sings songs she’s never performed live before. Written the way only Mariah can, this woman is a genius. Even if you aren’t a fan/don’t care for her, this book really gives you insight as to what it’s like growing up biracial, and inspiration to overcome whatever life throws your way.

The gift that keeps on giving 😍. Mariah love her fans. The lambs are sooo lucky to have her as an inspiration and she gives back so much to them through her music and now a book! A true pioneer and a legend of our generation. 🙌

Phenomenal! ✨. Take a moment, find a cozy spot, and open your mind and heart. Forget everything negative you have heard about Mariah and truly get to know her through this beautiful, raw, and emotional memoir. Thank you Mariah for letting us into your world. ❤️ 🐑

A true butterfly. I took my time with this book. Incredible story of an incredible woman with talent far beyond the horizons Mariah truly shared her life through a book her transformation from a caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly is a journey in itself, you can imagine every scene her life by far has been perfect but gee did she fight till the end to have her peace 5 stars best book ever!

Love it. Words can’t describe how Mariah he saved my life over and over again. Hearing her voice reading her story seeing her world through her eyes has been an awakening. Love you Mariah. Thank you for sharing your story.

Wow....just wow.. This is so beautiful...it’s funny, cute, sad, heartbreaking, it’s everything you could possibly imagine from Mariah Carey. If you read this review and haven’t purchased it yet, BUY THIS MEMOIR. I promise, you won’t regret it.

Exceptional. I’m so incredibly happy. This was terrific.

Excellence. Incredible read!! Thoroughly enjoyed it

Queen Mariah. I am a true Mariah Carey fan and I thought I knew everything about her until I read this book! I awaited this book for years! And it was worth the wait. Mariah dives into the meaning of Mariah Carey. Not only don’t you get to know about her childhood, stardom and love life; you get to know the meaning behind the music most importantly the lyrics of those songs. Now when I listen to those songs I truly understand the meaning of Mariah Carey.

W.O.W!. Simply amazing! As a lamb, you think you know everything there is about Mariah. But clearly that was just the tip of the iceberg! I had to go back and listen to her songs again with a newfound understanding and respect for the lyrical content. Mariah will forever remain my idol and one day I hope to be able to share a moment with her to let her know how much she means to me.

Amazing. Half way through and try to put it down to get work done but I instinctively pick it back up. Help me!

Astouding. Perhaps this memoir in all its glory is profound and poignant. It humanizes our Mimi with the trials that make her, well incomparable. Her iconic musicality is further appreciated besides the obvious talent but because of hearing her story. It makes me falls deeply intrigued and honors Her More, and understand her songs. Her songs sings her pain & narrates her voyage. Forever lamb! I love you Mariah Carey.

Good book. Mariah Carey definitely had a story to tell, so overall, this is a good book. However, I sometimes found it difficult to follow, chronologically speaking.

A must. Best book ever omg

Incredible! The store of Mimi. This is an incredible storybook of the life of Mariah Carey! Wow! It took me on a roller coaster of emotions. Thank you for sharing so much. Love you always! #Lambily

Legend. Amazing we love you

Eloquent writer, opulent soul. Mariah is so inspiring because she has been through the unfathomable yet is so successful and stands strong. This book is indicative of the stellar person she is beyond what is portrayed by the media and adversaries, and her ascent of a life story that delineates her humbleness and vulnerability.

A story unknown. I didn’t know that Mariah had such a difficult chit. It’s good to see how she prevails and became one of the most successful singers of our times.

Breathtaking. Please read this 🙏

AMAZING READ. Mariah never fails to amaze me! She is an amazing singer-songwriter, producer and philanthropist! I was eager to read this book and discover the depths of some of her most popular (and obscure) songs and I was not disappointed! I hope the world can see what a true gem and rarity Mariah Carey is!!

Loved it!!. She’s truly the best singer of all time!!

Christmas queen. Mariah really turned her life into something positive she is the last few legends remaining and she is a great example and role model.
