Melissa Rivers is releasing a book about her late mother, Joan Rivers.
The book "will share funny, poignant, and irreverent observations, thoughts and tales about the woman who raised her," the publishing company said in a statement. Rivers added, "I wanted to write a book that would make my mother laugh. I hope it makes you laugh, too."
Rivers is the daughter of Joan Rivers and producer Edgar Rosenberg, and co-starred with her mother on the WE reality series "Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best?." Joan Rivers died at age 81 in September after going into cardiac arrest during a routine surgery in August.
Rivers and son Cooper Endicott accepted a Grammy award on her mother's behalf Sunday. Joan Rivers posthumously won Best Spoken Word Album for her memoir, "Diary of a Mad Diva," and Rivers said the comedian would have been "thrilled" by the honor.
