Stunning autobiography!

Revisado: 07-02-22

This story lifted me up! What a gift it was to read about one of favorite actors and learn how it all began from such impoverished yet loving beginnings.

As I clung to every episode of HTGAWM and her other heartfelt performances, I suspected that Ms. Davis was drawing from a painful past but I never imagined the extremes until I listened to this book. Wow!

Thank you Viola Davis for sharing so intimately and honestly about your incredible healing journey.

As a trauma survivor myself, your story reminded me of how far I've come in my journey and gives me even more hope for the future, especially because we are the same age!

Also, thank you to your team that supported you through this so we could all savor this story.

I didn't want to end...

Revisado: 07-02-22

This book is a treasure! What a beautiful, honest, funny and optimistic read! Molly Shannon shares such intimate and honest details about her early life, her impressive career, profound love/loss, and motherhood.

At times, her narration had me crying tears of laughter and also heart break because her words resonated so deeply with parts of my own life.

I clung to every word she shared and literally cried after the acknowledgments because of her heartfelt sincerity.

Thank you, Molly and your team for creating such a beautiful autobiography for us to savor.

Fun and uplifting story

Pumpkin is a fun, uplifting and light-hearted story that weaves in some important themes like body image. It's such a pleasure to read an LGBTQ+ story that makes you smile. The narration was great too!

Provocative and beautifully written

Revisado: 08-13-21

This is a book to remember because the author's stories are so unique and transparent. She draws you in to her pain, makes you curious about things we take for granted, and helps others to understand the challenges associated with being multiracial.

Finally a book about the true dangers of dieting!

Revisado: 01-17-21

I think the author did a great job with this book because she covered the extremes of an eating disorders and treatment centers, but she also talked about disordered eating and how we've normalized it in our society which is not okay.

She even mentions orthorexia which most think is "clean eating" but it's way more extreme than that.

Diet culture is to blame for all of this and more books like this are needed so the general population can understand that it all starts with a diet and/or restriction of some kind.
