Said Patterson: It is an honor to work with Viola Davis.
Ive long admired Viola as an actress, producer, and writer.
Her memoir,Finding Me, was among the most insightful and uplifting Ive ever read.
Her gift of storytelling in film and beyond, as well as her generous spirit, is without peer.
And there has rarely been a more important time to spotlight the subjects raised inthis novel.
I could not have asked for a better partner than Viola.
This is a coup for the publishing house.
This collaboration is a thrilling gift for everyone who values story.
