A gorgeous, heart-wrenching, and inspiring memoir about surviving multiple childhood traumas and finding identity and redemption through art, relationships, and self-care. The audiobook, for which Davis won a Grammy, is especially powerful, with Davis's deep voice conveying incredible amounts of every kind of emotion.

Just so freaking good. Viola Davis shares her journey of finding self-love, as well as her journey of growing up, becoming an actress, finding love, and healing. Read by the author, what other encouragement is needed?!

Brutally honest reflection on what it is to grow up at poor dark skinned black woman in the US.  This was so very good.  Thank you Ms. Davis for sharing your story.
