I also have to add how happy Viola sounds when talking about her daughter. I can literally hear her smile.

She was completely open and unfiltered. I love that we are reading how she finds herself and her voice is so powerful in this book. I love that she took the power to write this about her life. I cannot imagine the courage it must have taken to write something so vulnerable.
She had me in tears by the 3rd chapter and laughing at the end.
I recommend you do the full experience of having her voice in the audiobook read this to you as you follow along with a physical copy. It will completely grip you. This without a doubt is my favorite read of the year. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars.

Audio book review: Read by Viola Davis herself, the audio book brings another layer of empathy and emotion into the story and helps the stories of her childhood connect to the Viola Davis we know from film and television before she makes the connection herself in the writing.
