Inside the book, Common reveals that he was molested by a family member as a young boy.

Even though he has never confronted his abuser, and has not seen him in more than 25 years, he has learned to forgive.

“I want to be a person who helps break cycles of violence,” he wrote. “This is love in action and I intend to practice it.”
