'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 and my strength, but also to finding 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. They are bogarted, reinvented to fit into a crazy, competitive, judgmental world. So I wrote this for anyone who is searching for a way to understand and overcome a complicated past, let go of shame, and find acceptance. 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 on my past and a promise for my future. 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.

Critic reviews

A mind-blowing and emotionally honest tale of survival against all odds. (Bernardine Evaristo)
A breathtaking memoir...I was so moved by this book. (Oprah)
It is startlingly honest and, at times, a jaw-dropping read, charting her rise from poverty and abuse to becoming the first African-American to win the triple crown of an Oscar, Emmy and Tony for acting. (BBC News)

loved that Viola was the narrator, felt like she was personally telling me her story. .. totally enjoyed, although there are many experiences she's has had that brought me back to my own which was hard.

A must

This was such a beautiful, raw autobiography of one of my favourite actresses. I love her even more now. She let us into the deepest parts of her life and didnt hold back. I love her voice and how she narrated her story. Listening to her struggles that I identify with as a black woman just made me reflect on my life. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would strongly recommend it.

So Beautiful

Wow! Now I want to watch every film that has Viola in it because her ability to defy the odds and carve a path for herself amidst several thorns has challenged me to step out and step up!
