Mitch Winehouse has revealed that he is to write a memoir about the tragically short life of his daughter Amy, with all the proceeds going to a foundation set up in her memory.The book, which will be called Amy, My Daughter, will be published by HarperCollins next summer - and Mitch says that writing it will help him deal with Amy's death this July at the age of 27.
He said: "I feel that I need to write this book to tell the true story of Amy and to help with my personal recovery.
"I also want to raise as much money as possible for Amy's foundation, so all proceeds from the book will go directly to help children who are disadvantaged through illness and substance addiction.
"I believe that through Amy's music, her foundation, and this book, her name will live forever."
And Nick Canham, the editorial director of Harper Non-Fiction paid tribute to Mitch.
He said: "The strength Mitch Winehouse has shown over recent months is truly admirable.
"His desire to create a definitive account of Amy's life, that will solely benefit the foundation he has established in her name, is something that we are incredibly proud to be part of."
