About this deal
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.
My only regret- I have from listening to Viola read ‘this/her’ memoir so brilliantly—is that I wish I had been part of a small book group -having ongoing discussions—chapter by chapter.She also talks about her personal life, sharing health challenges, meeting her husband, and adopting her daughter. There was also conversation about the treatment of theater versus film which I found to be extremely intriguing. It's the story of a scared child geared up in a warrior armor, of a person who climbed her way out of her own personal hell hole with clenched teeth and an impressive amount of talent.
As I wrote Finding Me, my eyes were open to the truth of how our stories are often not given close examination.
I cheered for her, had my heart burn with pride and joy learning she's finally getting the love and life she deserves. i am (even more so now) in awe of viola davis’ strength, resilience, talent, determination, and candour.
