Book Reviews of Vivid
Book Review: It was like watching a movie unfold
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the type of book you can read and re-read again and still get excited about reading it. As an African-American female med student, this book really intrigued me. To read how women of the 1800's, and not just African-American women, faced many obstacles just so they can live their dreams. It gave me motivation and pride to know females such as Elizabeth Blackwell and Rebecca Lee paved the way. I love, love, love the characters in this book. Vivid is sassy, independent, and intelligent. I liked the fact she knew everything about the human body like how to amputate a leg or give stitches but was clueless about the passion a man can give a women. Nate Grayson is that man to show her the way. Nate was so funny in a subtle way. He's strong, powerful and very passionate. I like the small town feel and how everyone looks out for each other. The unexpected twist and turns in this book will come as a surprise. You will feel the passion in this book so go get it!
Summary of Vivid
It's 1886 and Dr.Viveca Lancaster is frustrated by the limits placed upon female physicians of color. When she is offered the chance to set up a practice in the small all Black community of Grayson Grove, Michigan she leaves her California home and heads east. The very determined Viveca is one of the few nineteenth century Black women to graduate from the prestigious Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania but she needs more than determination to face down handsome Nate Grayson, the Grove's bull-headed mayor.Nate Grayson goes to the train station expecting Dr. V. Lancaster to be a man. When the lovely dark-skinned Viveca introduces herself he is speechless, then wants her back on the train and out of his town. It's 1876 and women aren't supposed to be doctors, men are. However he isn't prepared for her stubbornness and fire, nor for the vivid way she heals, then steals his heart.
