This is not a typical celebrity memoir. It's a story about survival and finding a voice.

Listen to the audiobook! It is outstanding, and hearing the story told in Viola Davis' own, expressive voice adds a lot to the book.

LOVE IT. so emotional, so beautiful, so poignant, so honest. so representative of the experience of a dark-skinned woman, in acting but also in LIFE. an incredibly important read for the entire world, i think.

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.
