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 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.\"?-Cicely Tyson\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56222377378165,"sku":"9780062931061","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780062931061.jpg?v=1762207525","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780062931061","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
