Finding Me A Memoir

OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK • A HARPERS BAZAAR BEST BOOK OF 2022 • A MARIE CLAIRE & PARADE 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 Times

In Finding Me, you’ll meet a little girl named Viola, who spent years running from her past—until she made the life-changing decision to stop running forever.

This is my journey—from a crumbling apartment in Central Falls, Rhode Island, to the grand stages of New York City, and beyond. It’s the story of how I found my purpose and, just as importantly, my voice, in a world that didn’t always see me.

As I wrote this book, I realized how often we are forced to reshape our own stories—to fit into a world that is competitive, judgmental, and unyielding. I wrote this for anyone who feels untethered, who is struggling to piece together their past, and who is fighting to find self-love. For anyone who needs the reminder that a life worth living is built on radical honesty and the courage to be your true self.

Finding Me is a deep reflection, a promise, and a love letter to self. My hope is that my story inspires you to rediscover your own, embrace creative expression, and reclaim who you were before the world placed a label on you.
