The second memoir, which will also appear in a young-adult edition, is to deal with Rice's family life in the segregated south of the United States.
Crown, a division of Random House, would not reveal how much the deal was worth. The books are due to be published in 2011 and 2012.
"Rice will combine candid narrative and acute analysis to tell the story of her time in the White House and as America’s top diplomat, and her role in protecting American security and shaping foreign policy during the extraordinary period from 2001-2009," Crown said in a statement dated Monday.
"The second memoir will be a poignant and instructive look" at Rice's family in Alabama, where she overcame racism to achieve academic success, then political high office.
Rice, 54, was the country's second African American foreign policy chief after Colin Powell.
