Talking about what she feels about her mother selling her to the man, Moore said, "I think, in my deep heart no -- I don't think it was a straightforward transaction."
"But she still -- she did give him the access and put me in harm's way," she shared.
The star said her parents suffered from alcoholism and the family moved across the country frequently as they faced debt. She even expressed that her mother tried to commit suicide when she was 12.
"I remember using my fingers, the small fingers of a child, to dig the pills my mother had tried to swallow, out of her mouth," Moore recalled in her book.
On the work front, Demi, known for her role in G.I. Jane is all set to join the upcoming Brave New World series.
The Universal Content Productions (UCP) series will see Moore essaying the role of Linda, a brash and hard-living mother of John (Alden Ehrenreich).
