Finding Me was an emotional journey. The first few chapters were hard to get through, not because it wasn't compelling or well written, but because it's hard to witness vulnerability and the horrors of enough person's life. As the story continued, bright spots started to appear, and it was easier to get lost in Viola Davis' story. I'd recommend the audiobook. Memoirs read by the author often add another layer and when the author is also a talented actor it's a special experience.
