A palpable tale of humanity told with honesty, vulnerability and humility!

Utterly amazing. One of my all time fave books. It was raw and visceral and Viola makes you feel as if she’s sitting across from you telling her story. A story of beauty, tragedy, trauma, and healing. It is something everyone needs to read especially those who may feel lost. 10/10

Devastatingly beautiful. Such heartbreaking, horrific stories. The journey was so amazing and inspiring, I didn’t want it to end!

Absolutely loved this book!! Viola is one of my favorite female actresses!! You certainly do have it...keep pushing your way through!!

Inspiring for anyone fights with self-doubt or past traumas. Great book for up and coming artist such as myself. See you soon V!

Viola’s bravery in writing this left me in awe. Even the writing is real; as if I was with her in one of those soulful conversations with someone you trust. No over-constructed narrative. Although one never reaches the end of one’s journey (except when we leave the physical world…), this memoir reads like the culmination of an important phase of jer journey.

Viola Davis- what a life story! It’s amazing the the trials she went through to become the amazing person she is today. Well written and inspiring.

Brutally honest

This story moved me and honestly just made my admiration & love for Viola stronger. Must read.

Absolutely beautiful. Heartbreaking. A story of triumph, she weaves all of her experiences to find a deeper sense of purpose. Best biography I’ve read all year.
