While fans are worried she won't be returning - fear not - as this is something the mother-of-three enjoys doing each summer, in order to spend quality time with her family following a busy working year.

It will also feature "a collection of personal essays on childhood, motherhood, marriage, her career and the intersection of all the above" and will be "surprising, at times savage, a little shameless and always with humor".
