"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 Times
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.
