challenging dark emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

This is a beautiful book. Viola Davis has been one of my favorite actresses for many years and when I heard about her book and the praise it was getting I knew I had to give it a try. The book is beautiful and sad and moving. Her writing so deeply has her voice behind it. Her life and the stories are so clear you can picture every moment. 
I have so much respect for her and her drive. I would love to just sit with her and continue to hear her life’s stories. She deserves all the praise she is getting and I hope she realizes the power she has brought to women (especially black women) by telling her story.

I listened to the audiobook version, and Viola is an incredible story teller. Her Grammy for her reading of it was absolutely deserved.
