Juliana Hatfield memoir on the way

Juliana Hatfield has documented her 20-year career in music in a memoir entitled �??When I Grow Up�??.

The book, which will be published on September 29, sees the Boston-native write about her journey in the music industry from her band Blake Babies to her solo career, and documents her battles with clinical depression.

Hatfield is currently gearing up for the release of her 10th solo album �??How To Walk Away�??, which comes out August 19 via her own Ye Olde Records. The record sees the singer joined by a string of musicians including Richard Butler (Psychedelic Furs), Matthew Caws (Nada Surf), Jody Porter (Fountains Of Wayne), and Tracy Bonham.

Meanwhile, she recently contributed a track entitled �??Back To Freedom�?? to the �??Green Owl Compilation: A Benefit For the Energy Action Coalition�??.
