Schapelle Corby set to reveal “raw and uncensored” story in her updated memoir
Schapelle Corby is set to release a “revised and updated” version of her memoir.
Titled Schapelle Corby, My Story, the book is a revised edition of the biography first published in 2006. The new version promises to give a glimpse into Corby’s journey since her release from prison in 2014 and return to Australia two years ago.
In an Instagram post on Thursday, Corby said the book is “very raw and uncensored”.
“It’s been a very difficult time emotionally working on this,” the 42-year-old wrote.
“If it weren’t for all of your support - and having the confidence and actually being brave enough to go back and go ahead and do this.”
“This is the first time since 2006 that Schapelle has spoken, driven by a determination to show she has emerged, scarred, but with her dignity, humour and courage intact,” the book description stated on the publisher Macmillan’s website.
Written with author Kathryn Bonella, the book will be out later this month.
Corby spent nine years behind bars in Bali after airport customs officers found 4.1 kilograms of marijuana in her boogie board bag in 2004. After being released, she stayed in Bali until her parole expired in May 2017.
