As a gamer and avid listener of audiobooks, I can’t help but be intrigued by Gypsy Rose Blanchard‘s upcoming memoir, “My Time to Stand: A Memoir.” The fact that Blanchard herself will be narrating the audiobook edition adds an extra layer of authenticity and intimacy to her story.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard will voice the audiobook edition of her first memoir.
I was thrilled to hear the news that I, Blanchard, will be the one bringing my first memoir, “My Time to Stand: A Memoir,” to life as the narrator of its audiob edition, courtesy of RBmedia. Co-authored with Melissa Moore and Michele Matrisciani, this deeply personal account is set to drop in December, marking a significant milestone following my release from prison last year.
“Blanchard shared in a statement how excited she is to give readers an intimate and personal experience by narrating her memoir, ‘My Time to Stand.’ She hopes that through listening to her story, they’ll feel like she’s right there with them, providing the encouragement, hope, and inspiration they need to explore their own journeys. For Blanchard, this opportunity to speak her truth is a long-awaited gift after a lifetime of silence.”
In 2016, Blanchard was notoriously given a 10-year prison term following her confession to manipulating her online acquaintance, Nicholas Godejohn, into murdering her mother Dee Dee Blanchard. For years, she had made her daughter, also named Blanchard, feign various illnesses such as leukemia and muscular dystrophy at her mother’s insistence. The younger Blanchard was granted parole on December 28th, having served approximately 85% of her sentence in Missouri’s Chillicothe Correctional Center.
“In this honest and revealing memoir, Gypsy opens up about the hardships she experienced growing up and shares unique insights from her past. This captivating book provides a never-before-seen perspective of Gypsy Rose Blanchard as she bravely continues her path to healing and self-exploration.”
As a huge fan, I’m thrilled to share that Gypsy Rose, with just a second-grade education, has astonishingly written and narrated her own book. It’s truly inspiring to witness such resilience and determination in the face of adversity. RBmedia is privileged to be the first to bring her captivating story to audio, allowing us to experience it through Gypsy Rose’s unique voice and authentic emotion. The audiobook promises an immersive listening experience that only the audio format can deliver.
The audiobook comes with additional material not found in the print version, created by Blanchard and her collaborators, providing an insider’s perspective on the book’s development process.
Blanchard’s life has been the subject of several documentaries, such as HBO’s “Mommy Dead and Dearest” and Lifetime’s “Gypsy Rose: Life After Lockup.” These productions supplement the upcoming memoir, with Hulu also adapting her story into a fictional series titled “The Act,” featuring Joey King and Patricia Arquette in the lead roles.
Blanchard recently made an announcement: she’s writing a memoir, and there’s a surprise addition to her news – she and her boyfriend, Ken Urker, are expecting their first child. In her YouTube post caption, she confirmed the speculation, exclaiming, “Yes, the rumors are true!” They’re thrilled about starting their family and are looking forward to sharing this experience with their followers on YouTube and other social media channels. Thanks for your continuous support, and they can’t wait to witness their family expand further.
Recorded Books, an imprint of RBmedia, will produce the audiobook version of “My Time to Stand: A Memoir” for sale. The hardcover and eBook editions from BenBella Books will also become available at the same time. You can preorder “My Time to Stand: A Memoir,” which is set to be released on December 10, 2024.
