It is me, plain and unvarnished, with the glitter and garland set aside. In these pages, I am indeed Cicely, the award-winning actress who has been blessed to grace the stage and screen for six decades. Yet I am also the church girl from Harlem 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 a 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.\"\u003c\/i\u003e -Cicely Tyson\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA Black History Masterpiece: \u003c\/b\u003e More than a memoir, this is a vivid, first-person account of a life that shaped American culture, from the streets of Harlem to the heart of the Civil Rights Movement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAn Inspirational Memoir of Faith and Perseverance: \u003c\/b\u003e Discover the story of the quiet church girl who found her voice and became a legendary actress, guided by her faith through a life where she \"hurt as immeasurably as I have loved.\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSix Decades of an Iconic Career: \u003c\/b\u003e Go behind the scenes of a trailblazing, six-decade career on stage and screen, from the roles that defied stereotypes to the moments that defined a generation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePlain and Unvarnished Truth: \u003c\/b\u003e In her own words, offered in her ninth decade, Cicely Tyson sets aside the glitter and garland to share her story with raw honesty and profound wisdom.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 608\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 26, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge Print:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47397340184754,"sku":"9780063028845","price":31.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/MHGm7oooj59780063028845.webp?v=1783481369","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/just-as-i-am-a-memoir-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
