Viola Davis, celebrated for her powerful performances in “How to Get Away with Murder,” “Fences,” and “The Help,” has earned accolades including Best Actress for “The Help” in 2011 and Best Supporting Actress for “Fences” in 2016. In her memoir, “Finding Me,” Davis takes readers on a journey through her childhood in Central Falls, Rhode Island, where she was the youngest of six siblings, and the numerous challenges she faced along the way.
“Finding Me” is an inspiring tale of resilience and personal growth. Davis’s story is both enlightening and motivational, showcasing her journey to becoming the best version of herself. The memoir is at its best in the early chapters, offering a captivating look at her life and the obstacles she overcame to reach her current success.
However, the book’s latter part tends to lose momentum, as it shifts focus to a detailed recounting of the many people Davis has met throughout her career. While this provides a comprehensive view of her professional network, it can feel somewhat tedious compared to the more engaging earlier sections.
This is a good read, perfect for your next poolside relaxation session. While it offers a captivating and enjoyable story, it might not be the most profoundly inspirational book you’ll come across. Nevertheless, it provides an engaging and pleasant escape that’s sure to enhance your leisure time.
