Description
In Finding Me, you’ll meet a young girl named Viola who spent years running from her past—until one day, she made the life-changing choice to stop running for good.
This is my story. From a rundown apartment in Central Falls, Rhode Island, to the stage in New York City and beyond, it’s the journey I took to discover my purpose and my voice in a world that didn’t always see me.
As I wrote Finding Me, I realized how often our stories are overlooked or distorted to fit into a world that demands conformity. This book is for anyone who feels lost, struggling through life with unresolved memories, trying to find self-love. It’s a reminder that a life worth living begins with radical honesty, shedding the masks, and simply being… you.
Finding Me is a deep reflection, a promise, and a love letter to self. My hope is that my story will inspire you to ignite your own life with creative expression and rediscover who you were before the world labeled you.

The book is very easy to read and reading flows quickly. Impressive to see what Viola’s childhood was like and all the difficulties she went through. Although she had a suffering childhood, at no time does she become victimized. It just tells reality as it was. Viola also shows us how her internal path was to improve self-esteem and confidence. This makes the book very true and shows the author’s courage to expose herself so much! Congratulations Viola, it is not for nothing that you have become this great actress, since it is by acting that she exorcises all her “demons”. I recommend reading!
