Bits and Pieces: My Mother, My Brother, and Me by Whoopi Goldberg

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I have been savoring this book for as long as possible. As I prefer audio books, and this one is read by the author herself, it has been pure heaven.

I have been a fan for as long as Whoopi has been in the public realm. I’ve read many of her books. I enjoy that she speaks her truth without apology.

This book is a tribute to her mother and her brother. It is a memoir of many wonderful, and no so wonderful, times in her life.

I can honestly tell you that for the most of this book, I have had a smile on my face as I listen to her tell her stories. Granted there have been a few spots where tears took the place of the smiles, but even then there was a touch of … maybe a small smile as the story unfolded.

If you know Whoopi, you will more than likely know what to expect. If you don’t know her, this might be surprising, shocking even.

This one is a pleasure and I can’t recommend it highly enough.
