Florence Henderson signs deal to write memoir

[January 20, 2011]  NEW YORK (AP) -- Here's another "Brady Bunch" story.

Florence Henderson, known to millions as the mother in TV's most famous blended family, has a book deal.

Center Street announced Wednesday that the currently untitled memoir is scheduled for September 2011. Center Street is a division of the Hachette Book Group.

Henderson's memoir will be nothing like the "Brady Bunch." She will write of a "Dickensian childhood in rural Indiana," and her struggles with everything from postpartum depression to religious faith.

Fellow "Brady Bunch" cast members Maureen McCormick and Barry Williams are among those who have written books.
