Welcome, book lovers! It’s that time of the month again when we gather to discuss a captivating literary journey. This July, our book club has chosen a memoir that is bound to inspire, empower, and leave a lasting impact on all of us. Get ready to delve into the extraordinary life story of Viola Davis in her memoir, “Finding Me.” From her humble beginnings to becoming an iconic American artist, this book is sure to ignite our discussions and awaken our spirits.
In her powerful and empowering memoir, the first Black actor to earn the so-called “Triple Crown of Acting”—an Oscar, a Tony, and an Emmy—details her rise from poverty and other trauma to emerge as an iconic American artist. Through revisiting her childhood and all its pain, she was able to finally answer the question that had long haunted her: How did I claw my way out? About the Oprah Book Club Pick, Oprah had this to say: “There are so many lessons to be learned from this breathtaking memoir about triumphing over adversity and trauma. Viola Davis leaves it all on the page—from her beginnings in South Carolina as the fifth of six children born in a sharecropper’s shack to acclaim as an actor, producer, and philanthropist. I was so moved by this book that I just had to share it with our entire OBC audience.”
Please come prepared to share your thoughts, insights, and favorite passages from “Finding Me.” Everyone’s input is valuable and contributes to the richness of our discussions.
Prepare to be captivated by Viola Davis’ inspiring journey of resilience and triumph. “Finding Me” is a memoir that explores the power of self-discovery, the pursuit of dreams, and the unwavering spirit within all of us. We look forward to engaging conversations, shared reflections, and the collective experience of our July book club meeting.
