My review...
I grew up watching Kim Fields play “Tootie” on The Facts of Life, and I have followed
her career ever since. So I was very excited to see that she had a book coming
out, and I jumped at the chance to read it.
This book provides insight into her life, both the
personal one and the one people know from television. The reader is able to
follow Kim’s journey from Harlem to Hollywood and see the challenges she faced
growing up in front of the world.
The book is divided into three sections: My Mother’s
Voice, My Voice, and That Still Small Voice. Fields provides details on
marriages, miscarriages, and motherhood in an open and honest way. While I
thought I knew a lot about her, there were many new tidbits to learn on this
actor, director, producer, poet, wife, mother, friend, woman of faith, and so
much more.
I found this book to be a quick read, and I enjoyed
every moment of it. Despite being a celebrity, Fields demonstrates that she is
just an average woman who struggles with insecurity, acceptance, etc., just
like everyone else. Some of her poetry is included, and I really enjoyed
reading it. I love the fact that there are sixteen pages of photos, as they
personalize the story even more. It is apparent that God is at work in her life
in numerous ways, and I am glad she detailed it in this book. I look forward to
seeing what He has in store for her next.
