Simone Biles will tell her story this fall for readers everywhere.

The Olympic sensation and gold medal winner plans to release her autobiography Courage to Soar with Christian publisher Zondervan in November. Biles’ official autobiography was written with Michelle Burford, who also helped pen fellow Olympian Gabby Douglas’ Grace, Gold, & Glory with a foreward by Mary Lou Retton.

The gold medalist talked about the book on Ellen, explaining it’s about “my life story and it’s coming from me so that people don’t read something on the internet and they’re a little bit unsure of it. So it’s about my life, a little bit about my family, and then how I got to where I am.”

Simone Biles broke records after becoming the first woman to win three consecutive individual all-around golds at the World Gymnastics Championships followed up with her stellar performance at the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio taking home four gold and a bronze medal.

Courage to Soar will be available on Nov. 15.
