An incredible story - I never knew much about Viola Davis or her life. The editing leaves a lot to be desired, but overall I’m glad I read this.

Listening to this was an experience! I loved that the author read this-I typically only listen to audiobooks if the author does so. She did an excellent job-telling her (and her families) story with a brutal  yet soft honesty. It was challenging to hear what she and her family experienced but enjoyed hearing how she found her voice and those who helped her do so.

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.
