I love all of Poitier‘s movies but did not love this book. Generally speaking, it is is a bit of an unfocused meander through his life. It‘s more of an ode to his parents and the notion that growing up in poverty with the freedom to explore on Cat Island made him the man he was. This was part of a selection of books at the library for Black History Month.

KCofKaysville @Suet624 I liked it anyway about insights into his childhood and beliefs even though it was as you say, unfocused. 2y
Suet624 @KCofKaysville yes, I definitely liked parts of it. Especially hearing about his childhood. 2y

This inspiring book is billed as a “spiritual” memoir, where the dashing actor extraordinaire Sidney Poitier recounts childhood stories and life lessons that shaped his strong moral compass. He only chose film roles that would make his parents proud and honored the legacy of his family. He broke barriers and struggled for his artistic integrity, and I adore him even more after reading this. I‘ll be rewatching many of these movies this week.🥰
