The first lady has just finalized a reportedly six-figure book deal.

First Lady Laura Bush has sealed a deal worth millions with Scribner to publish a memoir that will encompass her recollections of personal and historical moments, including her eight years in the White House, reports the Associated Press.

The publishing house, in announcing the agreement on Monday, said the memoir is expected to be released in 2010. Sally McDonough, the First Lady's press secretary, declined to say how much Bush is being paid for the book, but past deals involving first ladies have carried multimillion-dollar payouts.

McDonough said the First Lady would work with a collaborator though one hasn't been selected yet.

"As a rare witness to the private moments of one of our country's most consequential presidencies, and as a first lady who has maintained a notable level of discretion, her memoir will provide a candid and personal perspective, and an enduring record, of the years that have already determined the course of the 21st century," said Susan Moldow, executive vice president and publisher of Scribner.

In an interview, Barnett said Bush has yet to start the currently untitled book, but she "has said she wants to get right to work on this project when she leaves the White House. It is a high priority for her."

The public has long been fascinated by the first lady, if only because she has said so little about herself, and her life is already a best seller in fictional form, in Curtis Sittenfeld's novel "American Wife."

Laura Bush said she looked forward to working with the publisher "as I tell the stories of the extraordinary events and people I've met in my life, particularly during my years in the White House."
