Mary, Cindy, Ariel, and Gloria were inseparable growing up. They promised each other at their high school graduation, they would always stay in touch. But life happened as they moved to different states, got married, and raised their families. Thirty years later, they meet again at their high school reunion. That day they decided in two years when they all turned fifty, they were going to take an “All Girls” vacation cruise in Europe. Not only would this cruise be their birthday celebrations, but it would also be Cindy’s bachelorette party. Being the guest of honor, she convinced her friends it would be fun to play their childhood movie game and called it the “Bachelorettes Sleuths.” As soon as they got onboard the cruise ship, Mary saw the signs, something was not right. What was supposed to be a game, was becoming too real to life. She tried warning her friends, but they kept telling her it was her overactive writer’s imagination. She knew differently; this time, she was not going to ignore the signs and hoped she wasn’t too late.

In this romantic tale, a woman journeying through loss visits a castle in Ireland and becomes romantically entangled with a three-hundred-year-old ghost who shockingly resembles her deceased husband.
Fulfilling Marilyn Monroe's dream of putting together a picture book-autobiography, the author, a personal friend of Marilyn's, provides a fascinating glimpse into her life, in this stunning tribute to one of America's most beloved celebrities, who would have been seventy-five years old on June 1, 2001. Reprint.
Written at the height of her fame but not published until over a decade after her death, this autobiography of actress and sex symbol Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962) poignantly recounts her childhood as an unwanted orphan, her early adolescence, her rise in the film industry from bit player to celebrity, and her marriage to Joe DiMaggio. In this intimate account of a very public life, she tells of her first (non-consensual) sexual experience, her romance with the Yankee Clipper, and her prescient vision of herself as "the kind of girl they found dead in the hall bedroom with an empty bottle of sleeping pills in her hand." The Marilyn in these pages is a revelation: a gifted, intelligent, vulnerable woman who was far more complex than the unwitting sex siren she portrayed on screen. Lavishly illustrated with photos of Marilyn, this special book celebrates the life and career of an American icon—-from the unique perspective of the icon herself.
The Rest of My Story, a continuation of her first memoir, Surviving My Childhood, contains vignettes of phases of award-winning author Marilyn Meredith's life: reminiscences of family, places she lived, her accomplishments and failures, friends, her writing life, celebrations, and heartaches.
Fragments is an event--an unforgettable book that will redefine one of the greatest icons of the twentieth century and that, nearly fifty years after her death, will definitively reveal Marilyn Monroe's humanity. Marilyn's image is so universal that we can't help but believe we know all there is to know of her. Every word and gesture made headlines and garnered controversy. Her serious gifts as an actor were sometimes eclipsed by her notoriety--and by the way the camera fell helplessly in love with her. Beyond the headlines--and the too-familiar stories of heartbreak and desolation--was a woman far more curious, searching, witty, and hopeful than the one the world got to know. Now, for the first time, readers can meet the private Marilyn and understand her in a way we never have before. Fragments is an unprecedented collection of written artifacts--notes to herself, letters, even poems--in Marilyn's own handwriting, never before published, along with rarely seen intimate photos. Jotted in notebooks, typed on paper, or written on hotel letterhead, these texts reveal a woman who loved deeply and strove to perfect her craft. They show a Marilyn Monroe unsparing in her analysis of her own life, but also playful, funny, and impossibly charming. The easy grace and deceptive lightness that made her performances indelible emerge on the page, as does the simmering tragedy that made her last appearances so affecting.
Published for the first time in Spanish, this autobiography of Hollywood star and sex symbol Marilyn Monroe sheds an intimate and revealing light on her often troubled and tragic life. Written at the height of her fame, the memoirs describe her childhood as an unwanted orphan—moving from one foster home to another—her early adolescence, her rise in the film industry from bit player to celebrity, and her marriage to Yankees legend Joe DiMaggio. What emerges is a portrait of an intelligent and talented, but vulnerable, woman. Dozens of color photographs—many previously unpublished—by renowned Hollywood photographer Milton Greene capture Monroe’s one-of-a-kind beauty and energy. Publicado por primera vez en castellano, esta autobiografía de la estrella de cine y sex symbol Marilyn Monroe arroja una luz íntima y reveladora sobre su vida frecuentemente agitada y trágica. Escritas en la cima de su fama, estas memorias describen su niñez como huérfana no deseada—mudándose de una casa de acogida a otra—los primeros años de su adolescencia, su ascendencia en la industria cinemática desde actor secundario a celebridad y su matrimonio a Joe DiMaggio, una leyenda con los Yankees. Lo que resulta es un retrato de una mujer inteligente y talentosa, pero también vulnerable. Docenas de fotografías a todo color—muchas de ellas inéditas—del renombrado fotógrafo de Hollywood Milton Greene captan la belleza y energía única de Monroe.
