Description

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.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. Read more

    • One of the Best Biographies I’ve Read in a Long Time
Review Image by Cart Confessions Cart Confessions
Finding Me by Viola Davis is absolutely phenomenal. I enjoyed this book so much — it was raw, real, and beautifully vulnerable. Viola doesn’t hold back, and her story is told with such honesty and strength that I found myself completely drawn in from start to finish. What made it even better? I also had the audiobook, which I HIGHLY recommend. Hearing Viola narrate her own story adds so much depth and emotion — it felt like a personal conversation. Her voice brings every chapter to life in a way only she can. This is truly one of the best biographies I’ve read (and listened to) in a while. Powerful, moving, and unforgettable. ... show more

    • The first sentence grabs you by the heart!
Prepare to be captivated, inspired, and profoundly moved by Viola Davis's remarkable memoir, FINDING ME. This book is an absolute tour de force, taking readers on an unforgettable journey of self-discovery, resilience, and triumph. From the very first page, Davis's eloquent and raw storytelling grips your heart and refuses to let go. Her words dance off the page, painting vivid pictures of her experiences and emotions, making you feel like you're right there beside her, sharing in her triumphs and tribulations. FINDING ME is so much more than a celebrity memoir. It transcends fame and Hollywood, delving deep into the core of humanity and the universal quest for identity and belonging. Davis fearlessly opens up about her childhood in poverty, her struggles with racism and discrimination, and the challenges she faced on her path to success. Through her candid revelations, she sheds light on the larger issues of social injustice, racial inequality, and the power dynamics that persist in our society. What truly sets this memoir apart is Davis's unyielding authenticity. Her honesty is a breath of fresh air in an age of carefully curated facades. She lays bare her insecurities, her fears, and her vulnerabilities, proving that strength and vulnerability can coexist harmoniously. It's a reminder to us all that our scars are not something to be hidden but to be embraced, for they shape us into the individuals we are today. But beyond the hardships, FINDING ME is also a story of hope, resilience, and the transformative power of passion. Davis's unwavering determination to make her mark in the acting world is awe-inspiring. She breaks barriers and defies the odds, carving out her own space in an industry that often underrepresents and undervalues people of color. Her journey serves as a powerful testament to the importance of never giving up on one's dreams. Reading this memoir is like having a front-row seat to the transformation of a remarkable woman. Davis's profound insights and wisdom peppered throughout the book leave an indelible impact on the reader's mind and heart. She encourages us to embrace our true selves, to find our voices, and to stand tall in the face of adversity. Her words resonate long after the last page is turned, echoing the power of self-love, self-acceptance, and the pursuit of our passions. In FINDING ME, Viola Davis has given us a gift—a gift of vulnerability, courage, and inspiration. This book is a beacon of light for anyone navigating the complexities of identity, society, or personal growth. Whether you're a fan of Davis's acting or simply someone in search of a transformative memoir, this is a must-read. Prepare to be moved, to be challenged, and to emerge with a renewed sense of purpose and self. Bravo, Viola Davis, for sharing your extraordinary journey with the world. FINDING ME is a masterpiece that will leave an indelible mark on its readers and remind us all that our stories matter. Matthew Jordan Smith ... show more

Review Image by Jthomas Jthomas
Viola Davis's memoir, Finding Me, is a captivating and deeply personal journey that explores her life with raw honesty and vulnerability. One of the most powerful aspects of the book is how Davis reflects on the duality of her existence—how the 8-year-old girl who survived the harsh realities of poverty and discrimination made it to where she is today, but still feels like the 50-something version of herself has some unfinished business. It's a theme that resonates throughout the narrative, as Davis shares how her childhood shaped her, while acknowledging that her adult self is still in the process of fully "finding" her peace and confidence. What I particularly enjoyed was how Davis beautifully balances triumph with struggle. Her recounting of her childhood in Rhode Island, the hardships she faced, and the painful realization that she wasn’t just fighting for success but also for her own sense of worth is compelling. Yet, it’s not just a story of overcoming—she also digs deep into her ongoing journey of self-acceptance, learning that even after achieving monumental success, the work of healing and growing is never truly finished. Her reflections on race, identity, and the complexities of fame are both thought-provoking and relatable. What makes Finding Me so engaging is the way Davis invites readers into her psyche—not as a distant icon, but as a real, flawed person who is still learning to embrace her full self. It’s incredibly moving to see how she unpacks her achievements and challenges, revealing that even with all the accolades, there is always more to discover about who we are and who we are meant to become. Viola Davis’s vulnerability, candor, and strength in Finding Me make it an essential read. It’s not just a memoir; it’s a testament to the idea that personal growth is a lifelong process, and no matter where you come from or what you’ve accomplished, there’s always more work to be done. This book will inspire readers to look inward and continue their own journey of self-discovery. ... show more
