fortitude required to make it."-The Washington Post
"What is truth? How does someone make sense of their life lived
through a public lens? In Out of the Corner, Jennifer Grey peels
back all the artifice, denial, obfuscation, and myriad assumptions
and exposes a gorgeous, human portrait of her life, hard lived-in
and fiercely fought for. Her chapter titles alone show the insights
and whimsy that she brings to her memoir, along with the shattering
public and private struggles and successes. It's miles deep,
sharply personal, bracingly honest-and if there's anybody who
deserves to step out of the corner into the light of her mind and
indomitable spirit, it's Jennifer Grey."-Jamie Lee
Curtis
"We all know Jennifer Grey as a talented actress, but Out of the
Corner introduces us to a gifted writer. In reading her memoir, I
understood the passion, love, and loss that has given shape to her
life's journey. Her narrative is nuanced, her words carefully
chosen for maximum impact. She shares achingly human moments, like
what it was like as a little girl to watch her father, the iconic
Joel Grey, as he applied his greasepaint before taking the stage in
Cabaret. Out of the Corner is a revelation, a work of emotional
generosity and personal courage. It's sneaky brilliant. Love it and
love Jennifer. Baby got Book."-Michael J. Fox

miss this."-Publishers Weekly (starred review)
