NEW YORK (AP) — Taraji P. Henson has a memoir in her future.

The Oscar-nominated actress, who stars as Cookie Lyon in the Fox series Empire has a deal with the Simon & Schuster imprint 37 Ink. The publisher told The Associated Press that the book is currently untitled with a planned mid-2016 release.

Henson, 44, will write about her childhood in a rough Washington, D.C., neighborhood, being a single parent and her film and TV roles. She also appeared in the films The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Hustle & Flow and Baby Boy and was an Emmy nominee for the TV movie Taken from Me: The Tiffany Rubin Story.
