"Reading her memoir, Finding Me. . . you understand where her ability comes from: Only someone who has already been dragged into the depths of emotion readily knows how to get back there." -- New York Times Magazine "An unvarnished chronicle of hard-won, well-earned success." -- Kirkus Reviews "It's clear from the first page that Davis is going to serve a more intimate, unpolished account than is typical of the average (often ghost-written) celebrity memoir; Finding Me reads like Davis is sitting you down for a one-on-one conversation about her life, warts and all." -- USA Today "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." -- Booklist "Davis's grit and determination are moving, and her unflinching reckoning with the "racism and misogyny" she faced in Hollywood makes her story of overcoming all the more effective.

Synopsis
In my book, you will meet a little girl named Viola who ran from her past until she made a life-changing decision to stop running forever. This is my story, from a crumbling apartment in Central Falls, Rhode Island, to the stage in New York City, and beyond. This is the path I took to finding my purpose but also my voice in a world that didn't always see me. As I wrote Finding Me , my eyes were open to the truth of how our stories are often not given close examination. We are forced to reinvent them to fit into a crazy, competitive, judgmental world. So I wrote this for anyone running through life untethered, desperate and clawing their way through murky memories, trying to get to some form of self-love. For anyone who needs reminding that a life worth living can only be born from radical honesty and the courage to shed facades and be . . . you. Finding Me is a deep reflection, a promise, and a love letter of sorts to self. My hope is that my story will inspire you to light up your own life with creative expression and rediscover who you were before the world put a label on you., OPRAH'S BOOK CLUB PICK * A HARPERS BAZAAR BEST BOOK OF 2022 * A PARADE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK * A MARIE CLAIRE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK "It's clear from the first page that Davis is going to serve a more intimate, unpolished account than is typical of the average (often ghost-written) celebrity memoir; Finding Me reads like Davis is sitting you down for a one-on-one conversation about her life, warts and all."--USA Today "[A] fulfilling narrative of struggle and success....Her gorgeous storytelling will inspire anyone wishing to shed old labels."--Los Angeles Times In my book, you will meet a little girl named Viola who ran from her past until she made a life-changing decision to stop running forever.

    The more I learn about the people I admire, the broader my world becomes. Viola Davis is one great actress and a wonderful human being!h

    I haven't started reading it, but heard an excerpt on a friend's audible and also heard Viola Davis interviewed on The View. I'm looking forward to taking some time during the holidays to read it. Memoirs are the best! I had to put off reading it because I'm re-reading several books for some classes I'm teaching. The book itself is in great shape--the cover and the insides. The order process was seamless. Thank you for your kind attention. I will have to start using E-bay more often. I'm impressed with the service...at least so far. Peggy Stoll

    Finding Me

    Never know what another person has had to deal with to get where they are today. I loved this lady before I read her book but now have a new revelation about her. Couldn’t put it down. ‼️

    Compelling, well written memoir

    Great read. I liked Viola Davis before the book and I adore her now. She tells compelling stories of her development that allow the reader to recognize many of her roadblocks…and the guts she had to prevent them from stopping her.

    She writes straight from the hip! The language is rough but it displays her strength and survival skills.
