Finding Me by Viola Davis

challenging dark inspiring sad fast-paced

4.25

Incredibly well written memoir by Viola Davis. Despite growing up with many challenges include many forms of abuse, she does a great job of showing the systemic issues and the personal issues she faced. She isn't overly optimistic or portray her story as a success story because she got out. She doesn't devolve into trauma or poverty porn. She tells her story clearly and deeply, from a place of hard-won inner peace that has clearly taken her a lifetime to reach.
