Publisher's Summary

Sally Field is one of the most celebrated, beloved and enduring actors of our time, and now she tells her story for the first time in this intimate and haunting literary memoir. In her own words, she writes about a challenging and lonely childhood, the craft that helped her find her voice and a powerful emotional legacy that shaped her journey as a daughter and a mother.

Sally Field has an infectious charm that has captivated audiences for more than five decades, beginning with her first television role at the age of 17. From Gidget’s sweet-faced ‘girl next door' to the dazzling complexity of Sybil to the Academy Award-winning ferocity and depth of her role in Norma Rae and Mary Todd Lincoln, Field has stunned audiences time and time again with her artistic range and emotional acuity. Yet there is one character who always remained hidden: the shy and anxious little girl within.

With raw honesty and the fresh, pitch-perfect prose of a natural-born writer, and with all the humility and authenticity her fans have come to expect, Field brings readers behind the scenes for not only the highs and lows of her star-studded early career in Hollywood but deep into the truth of her lifelong relationships including, most importantly, her complicated love for her own mother.

Powerful and unforgettable, In Pieces is an inspiring and important account of life as a woman in the second half of the 20th century.

Sally Field In Pieces

A very raw emotional look into a life that seemed perfect from the outside. I’ve always admired her as an actor and even though her story is quite sad at times she tells how she came out the other side.
An inspiration and a must read for all woman
Thanks for sharing your story Sally.

Heartbreaking yet beautiful

Not a light hearted tale of coming to be a prominent award winning actress, but a retelling of a lifetime of mental struggle and situational struggle. Field has lived a complicated and difficult life, and through it has come to realise who she truly is in this world and time.

A wonderfully raw recounting of her life

It’s funny, but you always view a successful actor by the work they do, but often don’t think to look behind the curtain into their private lives. Indeed, that curtain deserves to be there to shelter real life from characters played. But when a celebrity chooses to draw back that curtain, the reality of their true life can be startling.
Thank you, Sally, for sharing your life with us. You are a strong, beautiful person who has valiantly battled what life threw your way and are an inspiration.

In Pieces - together

Astoundingly honest, this account lets us in to see the pieces that shaped Sally Field into the person, Mum and loved actor she has become. Thoroughly enjoyed this read - surprised and saddened by what she endured along the way. Thank you for your eloquence!
