Oprah Winfrey has chosen venture capitalist Amy Griffin's memoir The Tell (The Dial Press) as the latest Oprah's Book Club Pick, Oprah Daily reported, describing the book as "an earth-shattering memoir about one woman’s quest to uncover repressed childhood trauma, overcome perfectionism, and live a life of authentic joy."
"I was just floored when I read Amy's story," Winfrey said. "What she discovered about herself, about her past, made me recognize how powerful the desire to forget is and also how powerful the desire to remember is and how your life can change when you reconcile the two."
"I've spent the last five years writing, drafting, and considering every word I wanted to share about my experience," said Griffin. "When Oprah called, I forgot every one of those words. All I know is that I was in my closet, thinking, is this really happening?"
Winfrey interviewed Griffin for the most recent Oprah's Book Club: Presented by Starbucks podcast, available here.
