When anyone goes through the kind of childhood abuse/neglect Field tactfully confesses it sets up a myriad of feelings, of self-doubt, being self-critical, low self-esteem. etc ad infinitum. Your accomplishments, the praise and adulation mean very little when you don't believe you areworthy of it. Each case is personal, as are the experiences in the person's journey to heal. The best answer I can give is that she is honest and feels sincere. I had a model that was molested by her stepfather and she thought she was ugly in spite of her success. Her reasoning was very convoluted; she blamed an eating disorder that led to her thin physique for her success, an eating disorder she used to have control over a life she felt she had no control over because of the molestations. She was a stunning woman that went on to marry the singer of a popular rock band. She heard repeatedly that she was beautiful and even took on the mannerisms of a beautiful woman, but never truly believed it. Point is, this is Sally's story and what the public saw was not the person but a persona. As I said in my review, I never felt Field was whining or pitying herself, but rather took responsibility for many events. Eventually, it is a story of strength and on healing. It was very profound and I have respect for her candor and tenacity. I have recommended the book to many different people for different reasons, and gave it 5*'s (something I don't do often).(less)
The unexpected death of ex-boyfriend Burt Reynolds on September 6, 2018 comes 12 days before the release of Field's autobiography 'In Pieces'. Reynolds was still publicly declaring his love for Field as recently as March. When Sally appeared on The View (1997) to promote her book, she said she hadn't really spoken to Burt in 30 years. Sally Aquire Sally is a veteran health & fitness author who enjoys writing about natural health and wellness in particular. She's a fairly recent convert to smoothies and loves experimenting with different ingredients and recipes. Sally Field, American actress known for playing firebrands and steely matriarchs. She gained fame for TV roles in Gidget (1965–66) and The Flying Nun (1967–70) before taking dramatic parts in the movies Sybil (1977), Norma Rae (1979), and Places in the Heart (1984). Field won Oscars for the latter two movies. Funny thing is, Ms. Funicello really was the wholesome, God-loving angel she came across as, while Ms. Field was more identical to Sybil, the fictional character she starred as. THAT is the beauty and worth of Fields’ autobiography, “In Pieces.”. In Pieces (Kindle Locations 838-847). Grand Central Publishing. BOTTOM LINE A definite eye-opener. Do yourself a favor and buy add the Audible edition to your purchase. This autobiography is beautiful, sometimes hilarious,.

Couldn’t she have come up with at least a few good aspects of her life? Everyone has good and bad times. I got the feeling she just wanted people to feel sorry for her. (less)
