Around The Way Girl By Taraji P. Henson

Happy Pub Day to actress and author Taraji P. Henson! Her memoir, ☛AROUND THE WAY GIRL written with Denene Miller drops today on Atria Books.

Per Simon & Schuster:

With a sensibility that recalls her beloved screen characters, including Katherine, the NASA mathematician, Yvette, Queenie, Shug, and the iconic Cookie from Empire, Taraji P. Henson writes of her family, the one she was born into and the one she created. She shares stories of her father, a Vietnam vet who was bowed but never broken by life’s challenges, and of her mother who survived violence both at home and on DC’s volatile streets. Here, too, she opens up about her experiences as a single mother, a journey some saw as a burden but which she saw as a gift.

Peace, Love, & Beauty,
