The caption read: 'Baby ‘mi #tbt, circa 1975 or 76.' And the hashtags plugged her new book.

Moore shared the book cover for her new memoir Inside Out on Wednesday.

The acting vet - best known for the films Ghost, Indecent Proposal, Striptease and GI Jane - has little makeup on with her hair pulled back and a dark top on.

According to Harper Magazine's executive editor, the book - which is due out in September - will be one that both surprises and moves readers. 

She came from humble beginnings in New Mexico to becoming one of the most famous actresses of our time.  

Growing up with a step-dad who moved the family around often prior to committing suicide when she was young, and never meeting her real father, the icon's early years were not easy.

Co-parents: She was also in a high profile relationship and marriage with Bruce Willis from 1987 to 2000; seen in 1995

Not to mention her mother had a long record of arrests for crimes such as drunk driving and arson.

All of that, plus health issues before she was a teenager, created a tumultuous past before Demi eventually dropped out of high school to pursue show business full time. 

These trials will be delved into for the book, which will also discuss Demi's career and three marriages.

At 17, the Striptease front runner met musician Freddy Moore, who she co-wrote three songs with and went on to marry in 1980 up until their divorce in 1985.

She was also in a high profile relationship and marriage with Bruce Willis from 1987 to 2000, and then later was wed to Ashton Kutcher from 2005 to 2013. 

With inside information on those relationships coming forth in the Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle beauty's tell all, Harper executive editor, Jennifer Barth, is already praising the authentic book.  

'Inside Out is first and foremost a woman’s story; that the woman in question happens to be one of the most celebrated actresses of our time only makes her journey of vulnerability, strength, and self-acceptance all that more resonant,' she said.

Angels: On May 1, she reunited with her Charlie's Angels co-stars Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu and Cameron Diaz

She continued: 'I think readers are going to be surprised—and moved—by this book.'

The magazine big wig calls Inside Out a story of 'survival, success, and surrender - as well as resilience.'

According to her, Demi's writing is 'wrenchingly honest.'

In the 1980s, the mother of Rumer, 30, Scout, 27 and Tallulah, 25, checked into rehab for a drug and alcohol addiction. 

Then in 2012, she returned to treatment after collapsing in her Los Angeles home, convulsing due to months of partying and intense weight loss.

She was seen for addiction and eating disorder struggles the second time around.

Demi has since been open about her hardships, admitting in a speech at the Peggy Albrecht Friendly House’s 29th Annual Awards Luncheon, where she was named Woman Of The Year, that for years, she was 'spiraling down a path of real self-destruction.'

'No matter what successes I had, I just never felt good enough,' she bravely said. 

This path, she went on to say, brought her to a crisis point, where with the help of loved ones, she eventually began to rebuild.

'They gave me a chance to redirect the course of my life before I destroyed everything. Clearly, they saw more of me than I saw of myself. And I’m so grateful because without that opportunity, without their belief in me, I wouldn’t be standing here today,' the starlet said. 

Demi recently stole the show in Corporate Animals, alongside Ed Helms.

She is on good terms with Willis, who she raised their three girls with, and is mending relations with Ashton's new wife, Mila Kunis. 

On top of that, the beauty says she's shifted her priorities over the last seven years. 

While speaking to Gwyneth Paltrow and Arianna Huffington at the 2019 In Goop Health summit, Moore said she's now focused on her health and the people around her, rather than her career.

'My relationships are more important, and what I do comes second,' she explained at the NYC event, reports People

Inside Out will hit the stands on September 24.
