Courtney Love has signed a deal to write a tell-all memoir from her childhood, to her marriage to Kurt Cobain and her life today.

This is the second book from the former Hole frontwoman. Her first book, 'Dirty Blonde: The Diaries of Courtney Love', which was released in 2006, included personal photos, diary entries and song lyrics.

The 47-year-old's yet-to-be-named second book is set to delve deeper into her personal life, including her marriage to the Nirvana frontman, her relationship with her 19-year-old daughter, Frances Bean, and her trips to rehab.

The book will be published by William Morrow, a branch of HarperCollins Publishers, and the deputy publisher, Lynn Grady has said:

"Courtney is one of the most fascinating and provocative artists of our time, one of those rare performers who continues to reinvent herself time and again throughout the arc of her career".

The book is expected to be available by the end of 2012.
