Seven Lives: A Diva's Story

by Diane Ruth Morrison

Overview

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

"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"? In her well-written and entertaining memoir, Diane Morrison truly redefines the term "Diva". Heart wrenching and humorous, Seven Lives: A Diva's Story profiles the author's journey from a childhood of betrayal to a fiercely independent and successful entrepreneur."

"Half way through the book, Diane. I love it! Had no idea what an amazing writer you are! I can hear your voice as I read it. Heart wrenching and humorous. My ribs hurt from laughing..."

"I'm loving your book Diane! It just spoke to me. You're just an incredible writer, so good!"

"Your post about the book made me think about sneaking those Newport cigarettes in the attic. So proud of my big sis!"
