Speaking on the book, Harper Collins, the book’s publisher said in a statement: ” ‘Finding Me’ is Viola Davis’ story, in her own words, and spans her incredible, inspiring life, from her coming-of-age in Rhode Island to her present day.

“Hers is a story of overcoming, a true hero’s journey. Deeply personal, brutally honest, and riveting, Finding Me is a timeless and spellbinding memoir that will capture hearts and minds around the globe,” he continued. “Viola overcame an impoverished upbringing in Rhode Island living in apartments that were lonely, condemned and rat-infested.”
