Summary

Winner of the 2023 Grammy for Best Audio Book, Narration, and Storytelling Recording!

Audie Award Winner for Audiobook of the Year!

Narrated by Viola Davis

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.

Viola Davis is a phenomenal storyteller and an absolute marvel on the big screen. I consumed this book in less than a week because I was watching the movies/playwrights mentioned here...and my God has it been an emotional week (topped it off with the Woman King). This book had me crying, laughing, angry, gutted, and smiling from ear to ear. To hear her tell HER story of navigating through life gives us hope that no matter where you came from or the trauma that had happened to you - it does not define you, but you will need to face it eventually. I LOVE this book!!

WOW! Sensational!!
