Out of the Corner: A Memoir

Jennifer Grey's memoir is a deeply candid and refreshingly spirited account of her journey from identity loss to finding herself.

With self-deprecating humor and frankness, she shares her experiences growing up as the daughter of Broadway and film legend Joel Grey, her roles in quintessential movies of the 1980s, and her inspiring season eleven win on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars.

Throughout this intimate narrative, Grey richly evokes places and times that were defining for a generation, while also sharing the devastating fallout from a plastic surgery procedure that caused the sudden and stunning loss of her professional identity and career.

Despite these challenges, Grey inspires with her hard-won battle back, reclaiming her sense of self from a culture and business that can impose a narrow and unforgiving definition of female worth.

With enormous bravery, she shares her story of finding her true north and starting a family of her own, just in the nick of time.

This memoir is interesting not only for Grey's journey but also for what it reveals about what women encounter in the entertainment business and the fortitude required to make it.
