In Pieces

Film and television icon Sally Field will make a special appearance at the 2019 Rancho Mirage Writers Festival in an interview with Festival Founder Jamie Kabler. The session will be live streaming in all rooms and online so that everyone can experience this remarkable event. Field will discuss her best-selling book In Pieces, an intimate, haunting memoir of one of the most celebrated, beloved and enduring actors of our time. All Festival attendees will receive a free copy of this “memoir as soulful, wryly witty, and lyrical as it is candid and courageous” (Booklist).
In this intimate memoir, an American icon tells her own story for the first time-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.
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 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 twentieth century.
"How can you change who you are and learn what it takes to get up, over and over, if you can’t allow yourself to feel how much it hurts to be knocked down?"
- Sally Field, In Pieces
