Henson cemented Jenifer Lewis’s status as “the Mother of Black Hollywood.”When she experiences an emotional breakdown while filming The Temptations, her quest for wholeness becomes a harrowing yet inspiring tale that includes revelations of bipolar disorder. This gripping memoir is filled with insights gained through a unique life that offers a universal message: “Love yourself so that love will not be a stranger when it comes.”
