In her 2019 memoir, Inside Out, Demi Moore writes about three areas of her life: survival, success, and surrender. She invites the reader into her private world and shares how she wound up a low point, alone in her empty house, feeling like a failure in all areas of her life that gave her joy. Through this low point, she begins to explore the complex and long history leading to this point. With painstaking accuracy, she provides accounts of impactful and painful elements of her life, and through each of these experiences, she surmises important psychological revelations about herself, enabling her to move beyond the past rather than repeating it.

A captivating book that gives a glimpse into the life of one of the most prolific and scrutinized actresses of her time, Demi Moore powerfully navigates through her troubled childhood, portraying her very flawed parents with compassion and humanity despite their harmful shortcomings. Further, Moore does the same of her three marriages, fairly depicting her own point of view while not villainizing the people who have caused her trauma and distress. She steers the readers through her substance abuse, eating disorders, traumas, and ultimately, Moore shows her never-ending drive forward to become a better and healthy person.
