Little, Brown Spark, an imprint of Little, Brown and Company will be releasing the memoir.
“So many of us have been captivated by her work, both on- and offscreen, but few have the full picture of all it took to get there,” Tracy Behar, VP and Publisher of Little, Brown Spark, said in a statement.
“A brilliant and gifted storyteller, Kerry brings her considerable talents to the page to give readers a deeply personal account of her journey, highlighting all the forces that have shaped her life and career,” Behar added.
“Writing a memoir is, by far, the most deeply personal project I have ever taken on,” Washington told People. “I hope that readers will receive it with open hearts and I pray that it offers new insights and perspectives, and invites people into deeper compassion — for themselves and others.”
Thicker Than Water is set to be released on Sept. 26, and is available for pre-order now.
