Produktbeschreibung

This enchanting trip down memory lane captures the imaginative and hope-filled desires of the author as a little girl, fueled by the TV shows and movies she watched in the early 1960's. The memoir is wry and humorous and contains numerous scenes that both capture well the color and character of the times, painting pictures of kindness, cruelty, heartbreak and hypocrisy, by showing not telling the reader. She lets the stories speak for themselves, making them all the more powerful. Her memoir of a little girl filled with imagination and hope not only conveys the time and place vividly but also the perspective and character of the little girl she was. These are timeless lessons to be read and discussed for ages. Really, a very fine piece of writing.

Autorenporträt

Vivian Lee, author of The Invisible Girl on Ames Street Vivian Lee was born in Saginaw, Michigan during an era of abundance of wealth and prosperity in America. Unfortunately, the bounty was not meant for divorced mothers with small children. With an older sister and younger brother, Vivian was the invisible middle child. As a youngster, she was humorously threatened by her struggling mother that she would be sold to the gypsies. Instead of fearing the fate of a wanderer, she embraced the idea. Making mistakes, roaming, and starting over again would become the pattern of her life for decades. Along her journey, she managed to raise three successful children, get married multiple times, and finally met John, a loving man who showed her that she is loved and valued and that she could quit roaming. Vivian put down roots and enjoys a prosperous and loving life in Missouri with John. With no accredited college degrees, she graduated from the School of Hard Knocks, and the University of Life. Vivian now travels on adventures with her husband and dog in a motorhome, but she always finds her way back home. Vivian is no longer invisible. Please enjoy her story of hope and redemption. And like she says in this book, carry God's joy joy joy joy down in your heart and you'll never walk alone.
