Thicker Than Water

Updated: Jul 4


Thicker than Water is Kerry Washington's memoir, a candid exploration of her journey to uncover her truth. Growing up as an only child in The Bronx, Kerry deeply appreciated her parents' support. However, she often grappled with a sense of disconnection, exacerbated by the tension between her parents.


Within these pages, Kerry recounts her childhood, and her illustrious acting career, touches on her roles as a mother and a wife, and delves into her activism. While many may fondly remember her as the formidable Olivia Pope from Scandal, this memoir serves as a reminder of the diverse roles she has embodied throughout the years.

Thicker than Water is a poignant and unfiltered account of how a profound family secret affected Kerry even before she knew its existence. Her life journey has been marked by challenges, including confronting issues of sexual abuse, battling eating disorders, wrestling with self-esteem, and a persistent feeling that something was amiss in her life.


Overall, this is a great memoir and @kerrywashington has done a great job conveying her story to the readers. Thanks so much to the author - Kerry Washington as well as the team and Bryony at Little Brown Book for the copy.
