Finding Me: A Memoir by Viola Davis

inspiring
reflective
medium-paced
5.0
Viola Davis’ Finding Me is unlike any celebrity memoir I have ever read. Her life journey is an incredible, harrowing tale of being Black and poor in America. Finding Me reads as the next generation of Maya Angelou’s Why the Caged Bird Sings.
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.
