Oprah'S Book Club Pick. A Harpers Bazaar Best Book Of 2022. A Parade Most Anticipated Book. A Marie Claire Most Anticipated Book ""It's clear from the first page that Davis is going to serve a more intimate, unpolished account than is typical of the average (often ghost-written) celebrity memoir, Finding Me reads like Davis is sitting you down for a one-on-one conversation about her life, warts and all.""-Usa Today"" A fulfilling narrative of struggle and success….Her gorgeous storytelling will inspire anyone wishing to shed old labels.""-Los Angeles TimesIn 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.
