NEW YORK: Jennifer Lopez’s latest project is a story of “True Love.”

The entertainer has an agreement with Penguin Group (USA) for a book, her first, about her “cathartic” 2012 world tour. The publisher announced Monday that the book will be called “True Love.”

It will come out in English and Spanish and will be released through Penguin’s Celebra imprint on Oct. 29.

According to Celebra, the book will be a “diary” in which Lopez confides her greatest fears and how she overcomes them.

“What’s funny is, I didn’t start off the project wanting to bare my soul in print,” Lopez, 44, told PEOPLE backstage at the Las Vegas MGM Grand after becoming the first female recipient of the Icon Award at Sunday’s Billboard Music Awards.

“It started off as a diary of the year I went on tour … and when I was on the road, it became something else,” she said. “I really surprised myself, and I realized, ‘Oh my god, I’m writing this book.’ ”
