Finding Me: A Memoir by Viola Davis

emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

Wow! What an amazing book! I listened to this on audio and hearing Viola Davis talk about her life was so powerful. She went through so much growing up. Poverty, an alcoholic/abusive father, food insecurity, sexual abuse. And after all that she still became the woman she is today. She was a fighter, and strong, and determined to get herself out. Her relationship with her father was probably the most difficult to hear about. The thing he did to her mother were unspeakable but by the end it turned into a redemption story and the love she has for him was unconditional. I really found her to be an amazing storyteller, I love her as an actress and definitely want to see more with her in it. I HIGHLY recommend this book, especially the audio. I don’t normally rate memoirs but if I did this would absolutely get 5 ⭐️
