The 50-year-old Glee actress has penned her autobiography, which will include details of how she came to terms with her sexuality and how she battled an addiction to alcohol.
The book, titled, Happy Accidents, will be released via Hyperion's smaller publishing imprint Voice in September, the Los Angeles Times reported.
She said in a press release, 'If I could go back in time and have a conversation with my 18-year-old self, the first thing I'd say is, 'Lose the perm.' Second, I would say, 'Relax. Really - just relax. Don't sweat it.
'For a long time, I was anxious and fearful that the parade would pass me by, and that someone or something outside myself had all the answers.'
'Having finally reached a happy place - a happy accidents place - I want to share my story with others, to let them know things aren't as bad as they fear.'
