This book is about Viola learning to love herself despite never feeling worthy of that love. She learns to recognize her trauma rather than suppress them, and gives herself permission to forgive and grow from it.
Viola’s childhood is heartbreaking, but her evolution as a person is inspiring. I think everyone can learn some important lessons from this book.

Viola Davis is one of my favorite actresses and she is an amazing role model. We often see celebrities as gorgeous, rich, famous, etc. but we forget that they are human too. To hear and read about her childhood and experiences broke my heart- I even cried in one chapter. To see what she had to go through to get where she is now and what she had to overcome…she is truly a strong and powerful woman and reading her story made me realize why I love her so much.
This was an AMAZING memoir and I’d recommend it to anyone.
