The book is titled "Sorry Not Sorry: Dreams, Mistakes, and Growing Up" and will be published by Tarcher.

The book will chronicle Rivera's path from "from riches to rags and back again,” according to Publisher's Weekly.

After finding stardom as a child actress on 1990s sitcoms, such as "Family Matters" and "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," Rivera, 28, struggled.

She was a Hooters waitress before landing the role of Santana Lopez on the Fox hit "Glee," which would bring her fame and scrutiny.

The publisher is promising a "warts-and-all account," which will no doubt include Rivera's broken engagement to rapper Big Sean and her surprise wedding to husband Ryan Dorsey, with whom she is expecting her first child.

The spring 2016 release will also offer "candid thoughts on topics ranging from dating...to the challenges of being mixed-race in Hollywood," according to a news release from Tarcher.
