ISBN: 9780062931061

Tyson has been blessed to grace the stage and screen for six decades. She has been the church girl who once rarely spoke a word; the teenager who sought solace in the verses of the old hymn for which this book is named. A daughter and mother, a sister, and a friend, she is also an observer of human nature and the dreamer of audacious dreams. Here, in her ninth decade, Tyson is a woman who has something meaningful to say. -- adapted from jacket
Scenes from My Life by Michael K. Williams; Jon Sternfeld
When Michael K. Williams died on September 6, 2021, he left behind a career as one of the most electrifying actors of his generation. Beyond the nominations and acclaim, Williams played characters who connected, whose humanity couldn’t be denied, whose stories were too often left out of the main narrative.-- Provided by publisher
An ultimately heartwarming read, Will provides a humane glimpse of the man behind the actor, producer and musician. The combination of genuine wisdom of universal value and a life story that is preposterously entertaining, even astonishing, puts Will the book, like its author, in a category by itself.
