|PIC1|Legendary Christian artist Amy Grant's memoir will release this autumn, Flying Dolphin Press/Waterbrook has announced.

Mosaic: Pieces of My Life So Far will be released on 16 October 2007 and will be published as a trade paperback the following year.

"We've come to know the much beloved Amy Grant through her remarkable career as a singer and a songwriter. Now she has put pen to paper to deliver a beautifully written and deeply moving memoir that we are very honoured to be publishing," says Suzanne Herz, publisher of the book.

The book will coincide with EMI Music Group's CD release of Amy Grant's Greatest Hits on 16 October 2007. EMI has digitally re-mastered Grant's entire music catalogue and will release the CDs on 14 August 2007.

"Amy's music has impacted millions of people worldwide and now her life will continue to do so through the printed word. Mosaic promises to be an intimate look back at seasons of this multi talented singer/actress/songwriter's life that I know will inspire and entertain those who read it," said Bill Hearn, President and CEO, EMI CMG.

Amy Grant's career spans more than 25 years and stretches from her roots in gospel to becoming an iconic pop star, songwriter, television personality, and philanthropist.

Grant has won six Grammys in multiple categories, beginning with the platinum-selling Age to Age in 1982. She also has six #1 hits, including "Baby, Baby" and "Every Heartbeat".

Grant released her first live recording in 25 years with Time Again...Amy Grant Live in September 2006, and she is conducting a symphony tour through 2007, performing with local symphonies in Atlanta, Minneapolis, Kansas City, and more.

The hit song "Baby, Baby" is currently featured in a line of 200 Hallmark song cards that plays music from original recording artists when opened.
