Literary agents will usually want to see a chapter or two and an outline of the remaining chapters. You can contact their offices to ask for submission guidelines/specifications.
? are you writing this yourself... or will you be working with a ghostwriter? (the quality of the 'storytelling' will determine how far it goes)
! a good editor is essential. There are two types- content (story, flow, coherance) and technical (grammar, punctuation, etc).
Self-publishing is really easy nowdays, but for ~your~ story the marketing aspect will be vital, so I wouldn't recommend it.
You might consider periodicals - magazines, etc. It's a shorter format, and might open other publishing doors.

The best path for someone in your position to break into publishing is going to be to write an absolutely breathtaking essay, a real "highlights" reel of your experience that gives readers a sense of what you've gone through but, more importantly, that you can actually write well.
Assuming you can nail that personal essay - think 5000 words or so - if you can place it with a strong website or magazine, that will bring attention to you. That's when agents and editors will say "Holy shit, she can write, let's commission a book."
Suggestions from a publishing veteran already in your network!
