Customer Reviews

A woman of resilience.

I loved this book. Viola Davis shared moments in her life that most people would've kept hidden. After reading this book, you can't help but wonder how she managed to not allow her circumstances before fame, to reign victorious; however, I credit her ability to persevere, to God. Not the God of most religious sects in the world, but to the God within herself.

Disappointed the book came without the cover. I don’t consider that very good condition.

I haven’t read it but I’m excited to

Full of grits, eggs, ham, biscuits but NO JELLY!!!

A "point blank" view of a difficult and challenging childhood. A fight and war within her confines and self. A stern refusal to surrender to guilt, shame, pity and prejudice. This book leaves you with a profound admiration for Viola Davis that she so well deserves.
