Will Yoko write her autobiography?

From Contact Music

John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono is set to end her silence on her time with The Beatles star - she's preparing to write her autobiography.
The couple wed in 1969 and lived together as man and wife before Lennon was murdered in New York City in 1980.
Lennon's first wife, Cynthia, penned two tomes on her life with the legendary musician, whereas Ono opted to keep her tales secret.
The 76 year old has now revealed she is preparing to tell all - but the book won't be ready to hit shelves until 2015.
She says, "I would love to do it. I just have to find the time."
Ono adds that an autobiography will be her "next book, which will be ­written in the next five years."
The artist/musician has previously voiced concerns about writing a book, because it may upset the other Beatles' families.
In a 2007 interview, she said: "There are things that I can't write because it may hurt someone. I think about how it might hurt (their) children, and I don't want to do that."

well at least she's thinking of the feelings of the other Beatle families.

I'm looking forward to reading Yoko's autobiography when it hopefully comes out in 2015. It will probably be her last hurrah & the fans will have her side of the story. I've read lots of autobiographical books from Bill Wyman, David Lee Roth, Eric Clapton, Gene Simmons, Cynthia Lennon & Patti Boyd.

I read Eric's, patty's and Cynthia's book and I loved them all. I am looking forward to this, but I hope its truthful and not just the same fluff. I don't want the book to be about trying to make her look better with fans. 2015 is way too long to wait....I hope it comes out earlier.

I agree with you LovinLennon. I hope its isn't a last plea to like her. "gimme some truth!"

I am sooo excited about her autobiography. It's great that we'll get to hear her side of the story. I also do not think that she's writing it to make people like her. She just wants people to hear what SHE has to say and not the tabloids. I love that woman!

I didn't necessarily think she was writing the book to make people like her, I just think she isn't going to be completely honest. I think she is creative, and I like her out of respect for John. There are some things that I read over the years, that I'm afraid she will sugar coat, such as;

how hard she tried to snatch John away from his wife (but in the imagine interview, she said she was hesitant to get involved)
She apparently didn't really raise Sean until John died
She completely cut if Julian
I think she had part in John not seeing Julian for a while
She seemed controlling

I think that when she tells the story about her an John, she will be a great mother, she never tried really hard to get a married man, she never abandoned her first daughter, she loved John's family and Julian, she never tried to take any inheritance away from Julian etc.

I'm never to sure what to believe, as far as how in love they were, and if they were really happy at the end of their marriage, or John really was unhappy and planning to move back to England near family, do you think she'd admit any marital problems?

Sorry for the rant....I don't hate Yoko or anything. Just skeptical.
