I couldn't put this book down.  Viola Davis is a force of nature and her autobiography, the Grammy-award winning audiobook that she earned EGOT status for, is further evidence, if you weren't already swayed.  

While I'm normally not into celebrity biographies, there are a handful that I loved and this is one of them, so much that I consider this required reading.  Ideally, you should listen to the audiobook (again, Grammy-winning audiobook).  Viola pulls you in and doesn't let go.  Her autobiography is all encompassing from birth to present, all the details from her childhood to working in Hollywood.  I don't know what else to say other than to read this book.  It is incredible.

Wow wow wow. It’s hard to even have words for this masterpiece. Viola Davis gives you a front row seat to her life entire in this beautifully raw memoir. There are too many profound things she reflected on to name. If you’re ready for a true story of triumph and resilience mixed with a lot of heart and passion, give this show-stopper a read/listen.
