Finding Me: A Memoir by Viola Davis

challenging emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

Stunning. This singular voice captured me the first time I saw her on screen in the film Doubt. I remember being bored with the pace of the film until Viola came on screen and commanded my attention. I wondered “Who is this woman?” The tears came so fast as I sat forward in my seat to try and really see her. I followed her work since then and when she appeared for the first time as Annalise Keating I thought “Oh this is who she is!” Hearing Viola confirm how Annalise had all the complexity she needed as an actor to really explore herself was a thrill. Her lesson on knowing there is a difference between being real and transparent hits hard.  I could not put this down. I could not stop listening. I ugly cried in the final 20 minutes because of the power of this singular voice that has commanded my attention since the first time I heard it in 2008. This is definitely an audiobook experience worthy of your time.
