Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Taylor Armstrong is writing a memoir slated for release in February 2012.
Taylor, whose estranged husband, Russell Armstrong, committed suicide in August, details the physical abuse she suffered in the book called “Hiding from Reality: My Story of Love, Loss, and Finding the Courage Within.”
The reality star says she is writing the book to raise awareness of domestic violence.
Taylor signed a book deal with Simon and Schuster, a source tells Radar Online. “It will be a memoir and the abuse she endured while married to Russell, as well as another abusive relationship she was in the past will all be detailed.”
Russell Armstrong, 47, was found dead on August 15, a month after Taylor filed for divorce.
