Author:

Publisher:

Date:
April 26, 2022
The debut debut memoir from award-winning actor and Viola Davis about her journey from a crumbling apartment in Central Falls, Rhode Island, to the stage in New York City, and beyond.
What The Reviewers Say
Davis is more interested in framing her decorated career within the racism, generational abuse and sexual assault she overcame.
To read Davis’ elegantly written but sometimes harrowing memoir, Finding Me, is to understand just how hard this spectacular performer has worked to build the career and life she has today—and to acknowledge that even for a performer as outrageously gifted and dedicated as Davis is, the ingredient X known as luck can never be underestimated.
Brutally honest and honestly brutal.
Davis gives readers hope, encouraging us to look back and embrace childhood dreams or failures, let go of shame, and move forward to become the best version of ourselves.
