Plan revealed for Jade cancer diary
The final months of Jade Goody's battle with cancer are to be detailed in a new book, it has been announced.
Publishers HarperCollins described the cancer diary, entitled Forever in My Heart, as a "modern day parable".
The 27-year-old reality TV star left hospital last week to spend her last days at home with her family.
Her husband Jack Tweed and mother Jackiey Budden were seen at her home in Essex throughout the day.
In a statement, HarperCollins said the former Big Brother contestant had characterised the book as a "love letter" to her two young sons, Bobby and Freddy.
Belinda Budge, the managing director of HarperNon-Fiction said: "This is Jade in her own words.
"It is impossible not to be moved by her heart-warming voice which comes through loud and clear on every page of this last diary.
"This emotional book tells a fascinating story of our time, a story of a woman who rose to fame as a controversial reality TV star and has now won admiration in the eyes of many for the fortitude with which she is facing terminal cancer."
Details of the book deal, which was arranged quickly over recent weeks, have not been made public, but Goody is understood to have been paid a substantial sum.
A percentage of profits from the book will be donated to Marie Curie Cancer Care.
