Resumen del Editor

From multi-award winner Whoopi Goldberg comes a new and unique memoir of her family and their influence on her early life.

If it weren’t for Emma Johnson, Caryn Johnson would have never become Whoopi Goldberg. Emma gave her children the loving care and wisdom they needed to succeed in life, always encouraging them to be true to themselves. When Whoopi lost her mother in 2010—and then her older brother, Clyde, five years later—she felt deeply alone; the only people who truly knew her were gone.

Emma raised her children not just to survive, but to thrive. In this intimate and heartfelt memoir, Whoopi shares many of the deeply personal stories of their lives together for the first time. Growing up in the projects in New York City, there were trips to Coney Island, the Ice Capades, and museums, and every Christmas was a magical experience. To this day, she doesn’t know how her mother was able to give them such an enriching childhood, despite the struggles they faced—and it wasn’t until she was well into adulthood that Whoopi learned just how traumatic some of those struggles were.

Fans of personal memoirs such as Finding Me by Viola Davis and In Pieces by Sally Field will be touched by Bits and Pieces: a moving tribute from a daughter to her mother, and a beautiful portrait of three people who loved each other deeply. Whoopi writes, “Not everybody gets to walk this earth with folks who let you be exactly who you are and who give you the confidence to become exactly who you want to be. So, I thought I’d share mine with you.”

The Best Book I’ve Read In a Very Long Time

This book was very well written and read by Whoopi Goldberg. It has so many insightful thoughts and comments made by both Whoopi and her mother. I love all the memories that she shared between her brother, her mother and herself. I am extremely picky when it comes to books and this is honestly the best book I have read in years. I read most of it in one sitting. I have always liked Whoopi Goldberg, but I’ve never been the biggest, hugest fan in the world. Definitely nothing has ever been wrong with Whoopi Goldberg, I just haven’t been the biggest fan throughout most of my life. After reading this book, however, I have gotten a much deeper appreciation for her, how she was raised, her family and her career. she should definitely write and narrate more books. This was such an excellent read!

Whoopi’s spirit

I’ve always loved Whoopi, in every standup, movies, and talk shows. She says exactly what she feels.
No sugar coating.

She has such a down home spirit about her. You feel like she’s your best friend or family member.

Totally relate to everything in this book. Beautifully written and spoken. Thank you for sharing so many wonderful pieces of your life.

Love you Whoopi! You’re the best!
