Just As I Am By Cicely Tyson

• Just as I Am A Memoir (Large Print): Tyson, Cicely: The Academy, Tony, and Emmy Award-winning actor and trailblazer tells her stunning story, looking back at her life and six-decade career.
• As soon as I heard Ms. Tyson published Just As I Am: A Memoir in the course of her speaking immediately purchased the book to read and be a reviewer. When I found out she passed away today before the book arrived have been mourning and reflecting.
• The Divine leading in Cicely's life was the strongest influence to her success, she followed the prompting: 'God, the Source of all time, Creator of all life, has forever been directing mine.' This is one of those books you're just going to have to read for yourself. If you're a fan of Ms. Tyson, you'll devour it.

'Just As I Am is my truth. It is me, plain and unvarnished, with the glitter and garland set aside. In these pages, I am indeed Cicely, the actress who has been blessed to grace the stage and screen for six decades. Yet I am also the church girl who once rarely spoke a word. I am the teenager who sought solace in the verses of the old hymn for which this book is named. I am a daughter and mother, a sister, and a friend. I am an observer of human nature and the dreamer of audacious dreams. I am a woman who has hurt as immeasurably as I have loved, a child of God divinely guided by His hand. And here in my ninth decade, I am a woman who, at long last, has something meaningful to say.' –Cicely Tyson
