À propos de cet audio
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.

There may be no tidy solutions or pithy answers to life’s big challenges, but Michelle Obama believes that we can all locate and lean on a set of tools to help us better navigate change and remain steady within flux. In The Light We Carry, she opens a frank and honest dialogue with listeners, considering the questions many of us wrestle with: How do we build enduring and honest relationships? How can we discover strength and community inside our differences? What tools do we use to address feelings of self-doubt or helplessness? What do we do when it all starts to feel like too much?

Terry Crews spent decades cultivating his bodybuilder physique and bravado. On the outside, he seemed invincible: he escaped his abusive father, went pro in the NFL, and broke into the glamorous world of Hollywood. But his fixation with appearing outwardly tough eventually turned into an exhausting performance in which repressing his emotions let them get the better of him—leading him into addiction and threatening the most important relationships in his life. Now Crews is sharing the raw, never-before-told story of his quest to find the true meaning of toughness.

In this honest, layered and unforgettable book that alternates between storytelling and her own poetry, Pamela Anderson breaks the mold of the celebrity memoir while taking back the tale that has been crafted about her. Her blond bombshell image was ubiquitous in the 1990s. Discovered in the stands of a football game, she was immediately rocket launched into fame, becoming Playboy’s favorite cover girl and an emblem of Hollywood glamour and sexuality. But what happens when you lose grip on your own life—and the image the notoriety machine creates for you is not who you really are?

Gadsby grew up as the youngest of five children in Tasmania, where homosexuality was illegal until 1997. After moving to mainland Australia and receiving a degree in art history, they found themselves adrift, working itinerant jobs and enduring years of isolation punctuated by homophobic and sexual violence. When Gadsby was twenty-seven, a friend encouraged them to enter a stand-up competition. They won, and so began their career in comedy.

WOW! Sensational!!
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!!

One of the best books I have read in 2022!
Her story flies off the pages of this book. You can't hell but root for the children of 128. Very captivating and gut wrenching. The ultimate story survival against all odds.
It's my hope that this story makes it on to the
Big screen one day; to inspire generations to come..
Kudos to Viola!

Engaged from her very first words!
Viola is as engaging in her book as she is on stage and screen. She is as compassionate as she is personable. I feel like I’m listening to a wise oak tree share a story that can both propel and ground you in its stories and its truth. Viola shares from her heart and through her strength revealing one of the softest consoling souls I’ve ever encountered. It was an honour to be drawn into her world, if only for a short while.

Gives me hope
Although the storyline was familiar, I did not not expect Viola’s voice to be absolutely perfect and easy to listen to. She should be reading others’ books. I would describe her voice to be the female version of Morgan Freeman, who is an excellent storyteller. I could not get enough. I listened to several chapters at a time while at the gym, cooking, etc.
Her evolution as a woman and as an actor is the most remarkable aspect of her story. I was especially moved by her stories of her parents, as imperfect as they were. I can relate. And it gives me such joy that she overcame so much adversity to find love and inner peace, with the perfect man, before welcoming their precious daughter.
