Finding Me by Viola Davis

5.0

This memoir was both heartbreakingly tragic and incredibly uplifting. Viola Davis presents her incredibly difficult childhood with grace and heart-rending detail but never seems to be complaining. It's all very matter of fact, this is what it was, but now here is where I am. She is so grateful for her success and so forgiving of her parents, who were obviously doing the best they could with the limited resources they were dealt. I love her enthusiasm for every new opportunity and her journey to love herself and her life. I know people say this all the time, but Viola seems like someone I could totally be friends with and learn from her experiences. Highly recommend the audio version which was read by Viola herself.
