Jeremy Renner will tell the story of the snowplow accident that nearly killed him in a new memoir, People magazine reports.

Flatiron will publish the actor’s My Next Breath in the spring. The press says the book is “not merely a gruesome account of what happened to him; it’s a call to action and a forged companionship between reader and author as Jeremy recounts his recovery journey and reflects on the impact of his suffering.”

Renner, known for his roles in films including 28 Weeks Later, The Hurt Locker, and The Town, was severely injured in 2023 while trying to stop a snowplow that was rolling downhill from hitting his nephew. He suffered severe chest trauma and nearly 40 broken bones, and he was hospitalized for more than two weeks.

“Jeremy’s memoir is a testament to the human spirit and its capacity to endure, evolve, and find purpose in the face of unimaginable adversity,” Flatiron says. “His writing captures the essence of profound transformation, exploring the delicate interplay between vulnerability and strength, despair and hope, redemption and renewal.”

Renner announced his memoir on the social platform X, writing, “I found this wonderfully cathartic, and a great honor to deep dive and share with you accounts of life, death, and all things in between.”

My Next Breath is slated for publication on April 29.
