Panettiere expressed her intention to offer readers "an unprecedented glimpse into [her] storied life and acclaimed career," anticipating that the book will evoke various emotions, from laughter to tears, while ultimately leaving readers feeling inspired.

Set to be released by Grand Central Publishing in early 2026, Scream And Break Free promises to provide an exploration of her journey towards healing and growth.

Former child actress who battled substance abuse from the age of 15, hopes that sharing her experiences will offer solace to others facing similar challenges.

Taking the initiative to seek help, she entered rehab in 2015, recognizing her need for intervention amidst her personal turmoil. 

Subsequently, she engaged in a 12-step program to confront her challenges and pursue a life of sobriety.
