SEVEN LIVES_A DIVA'S STORY_BRAND-NEW INSCRIBED 2020 SOFTCOVER _PB

Description: Witty, profound and a bit cheeky, Seven Lives: A Diva's Story is a journey through seven stages of life marked by seven nicknames: Rare Orchid: a survivor, Tough Cookie: a performer, Ginger: an academy girl, Princess: a wife, Gypsy: a free-spirited single woman, Diva: a wealthy entrepreneur, Collector: an art connoisseur. Over the years, I discover being a Diva is not limited to being a show off, self-important, pretentious, or even obnoxious. I'm certainly not an opera singer, the definition of the word Diva in Webster's dictionary. I define Diva as a person who is strong, self-aware, and free of society's boxes. Editorial Reviews Review "Diane's debut novel is a rich portrayal of her life's journey from early childhood to present day. From the very beginning her life was littered with difficulties imposed on her by dysfunctional family members. The artwork of her life circumstances could have easily painted her as a victim. Instead, she chose to be the victor. Rather than succumb to her circumstances, she bravely hurdled each roadblock coming out on top. Her resolve to be successful carried her through. Her writing style draws you into her personal journey. This honest account of her life required a level of vulnerability which creates an intimacy with her reader. The drama of her life both entertains and moves you. There were times I was laughing out loud at her comical predicaments. Still others were poignant and deeply touching. This book was an enjoyable and entertaining read. It is sprinkled throughout with descriptive gems that draw you into each period of her journey. It's a wonderful account of her life swept up into words and crafted into a memorable story." "What is a "Diva"?

Emmerling ArtLover 5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating search of true self Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2021 Verified Purchase Just finished reading the book. Honestly it’s a great page turner, hard to put down. In my opinion it progressively gets better and better with most recent events ringing the most true. Loved reading about the healing journey. The combination of love affairs, travel and art is really exciting. Diane’s search for her true self and all the insights are fascinating. It takes a lot of courage to be so honest. It is likely that most relationships hit hard patches at times. It makes it easy to relate. Again, great read! I really loved it!

Her textured descriptions of places, people and events brings you right into the scene, be it the post-war 1940's or during the stressful early days of today's pandemic. It is interesting throughout with a few head-turning easter eggs along the way. Enjoy! BeandLive 5.0 out of 5 stars An Engaging and Compelling Memoir! Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2021 This is a page turner, with rich, sensory descriptions to transport you through time. A "coming of age" or NOT coming of age story that leaves me wanting more. I love being surrounded by inner thoughts, past and present stories with timeless appeal. Well done, Diva! Rita Chadwell 5.0 out of 5 stars Women, you have to read this book. Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2021 The honesty and vulnerability of this Diva, Diane, has really touched me. Her humor and ability to laugh at herself is refreshing. Her strength and positive attitude was able to get her through extremely difficult times, but through it all she shines. She is an example for women who, way to often, doubt what they can achieve. I want to live vicariously through her travels. Jarm Kendall CE Wilhelm 5.0 out of 5 stars Quick Entertaining Read Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2021 Everyone needs a DIVA in their life...if you don't have one....Diane Morrison would be my top pic. Lucky me. The book is entertaining and a fun insight into a life that has left nothing unturned. A must read when your stuck in the house or eventually on the beach!
