Just As I Am<\/i><\/b> is featured on JARO\u2019s 2021 <\/b>reading list<\/b><\/a> as one of our most highly anticipated reads. <\/b>In this 608 page memoir,  Cicely Tyson reveals her truest self\u2013\u2013an in-depth meditation on her nine decades of life and how her career and personal life have shaped her into the extraordinary, wise woman that she is today. <\/b><\/p>\n

The official synopsis reads: <\/b>\u201c<\/i><\/b>Just As I Am<\/b> 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.\u201d \u2013<\/i><\/b>Cicely Tyson<\/b><\/p>\n
