The Insight of Being Vivacious, by Tamara Lee, is an entertaining memoir about Lee’s life. I especially enjoyed her portrayal of her childhood with an alcoholic mother.
As a child, she was always in my life. She was by far the most favorite of my sister’s. Every time I was around, she’d be there.
At least, that’s what I thought, until one day, when I was looking for the truth in my life. I found myself getting overwhelmed with all the mysteries and lies in her childhood. Then, my discovery lead me to a world that she had already been in. And it’s a place where she stayed for the rest of her life.
My discovery led me to a world of inner dialogues about a daughter who was not as smart as her older sisters, but was the funniest person around. It also opened my eyes to a world where she found strength to overcome, but struggled with shame of her past and place in society. This was an interesting journey that helped me find peace. And this was why, I recommend to all who are looking for spiritual wisdom.
The Insight of Being Vivacious is a short novel. It’s not a long memoir, but still, it’s a refreshing read because Lee exposes herself as much as she exposes her family.
The book could have been better, but the novel is filled with truths and hope. It’s a simple read that reveals one woman’s life.
One of the many joys of this book is that the author speaks of her youth and says that it had inspired her to write the book. This is very true because this is what drew me to her in the first place.
Beginning from the moment she was born. The author chronicles how she grew up through her family’s life. She details every single story that happened in her childhood, so that readers can connect with her experiences.
The author did not focus on her childhood, but on her growing up as a woman. It’s ironic how Lee writes about the struggles that she went through as a girl, while being the laughing and giggling queen of her family. This was a great move, because the author comes from such a rich experience.
The author also talks about her domestic violence problems, and how she overcame. She talks about her struggles to remain a mother, and how her experiences of childbirth influenced her growth as a woman. Through the years, the author learned to handle herself with grace, and she wrote a novel that helped her realize the true values in life.
There is a scene that has a Chinese-Hime Blossom as the backdrop, and the narrator is discussing with a member of the Vietnamese community about how things have changed. The Vietnam War was still going on, and people were still trying to return to their country after having escaped its horrors.
The Insight of Being Vivacious is a refreshing look at a woman who grew up to become a great artist, or a writer, or a healer. The story explores how she grew up, and it talks about the difference between someone who is good at what they do. To everyone reading this, you will be enlightened.
