He was approached to do a memoir by Celebris press (a Hispanic division of Penguin books). David lost his voice around age 12/13 right when he was starting to believe in himself and believe that people maybe enjoyed his voice. I think his book, like his speeches, will be inspirational and be about dreams and the determination to reach them. I preordered it. No I do not think David’s memoir will be targeted towards kids.

Seems kind of young for a memoir -- he's still a teenager. JMO, but I think a person should have a lot more life experience before they attempt a memoir. In his case, it's going to be a very short book. Or is this meant to be targeted to kids? That might make more sense. David Archuleta is writing a memoir?

I think the title is a metaphor Chords of strength: soul, song and power of peseverance . David Archuleta said when the offer was made, he thought he was too young to write a memoir. When they explained how his story of his vocal paralysis and other life experiences,accomplishments might help others, he decided to go for it. He accepted the opportunity. I think he has found writing a journal and telling his story from his point of view is important to him.

Melinda is about 30 and seems mature enough to write something--also it seems like it might be a religious-angled memoir (publisher is a Christian publications division of Harper-Collins). But David is only 19. He had that problem with his vocal chord when he was about 14, but that doesn't seem to be enough for a book. He does have a personal life philosophy that could be inspirational--personal achievement helps one give to others; darkness leads to dawn; there's always a way to move forward; all those post-its in Danny's video. (I mean, when he's home, he visits the elderly in his neighborhood because he benefits from the wisdom of their life stories--I doubt Justin Bieber is doing that in his spare time.) Maybe the intended audience of David's book is young teenagers? They both seen like good people. I hope their publications are well received.

I like Melinda and bought her album. I like her backup to star story but don't know if I'll buy her book. I was a little disappointed that she only did covers on her album after waiting two years for her album. I'm happy to see her happy. Hope she is satisfied with her progression.
