He traveled across the world to experience the love of a family, and ultimately touched thousands of lives when his mission on earth ended earlier than wed planned, and he left us for Heaven. This is not just the story of a child who died, but rather a tribute to a little boy who really, honestly lived. Yes, its true that, ultimately, we lost our son.

We know that God is good, and though our pain and suffering are sure, the reality remains that Daniel is safe in the arms of our Lord. How blessed we are thateven though it was for such a short timeGod entrusted us as Daniels loving family before He called our son Home to Heaven.

Written by a team of experts led by Marilyn J. Hockenberry, Wong’s continues to be the leading text in pediatric nursing.

Friedl

By: William F. Kuhlke, 3rd,Willison, Marilyn Murray

Hundreds of books have been published about the atrocities that occurred in World War II. Now it is time to complete the story by telling the other side – the story of a non-Jewish girl and what she endured. The fact that Adolf Hitler attempted to annihilate the Jewish race has been rightfully taught to subsequent generations to insure that something as heinous as The Holocaust is never repeated. Unfortunately, many people have mistakenly assumed that the entire German population was in line with the Nazi dogma and shared Hitler’s irrational hatred and diabolical solutions. Friedl tells another side of the story. Her true story shows many beliefs to be quite wrong. Friedl’s story is divided into two parts, which helps the reader absorb the duality of her wartime experiences. Book One relates to her childhood years and her loving family, her musical development, her orders to leave her music and work in support of the war effort, her conscription into the Nazi Army and her many horrible wartime experiences far, far from home. In Book Two, Friedl begins her post-war journey home. We travel with her as far as the train tracks allow and then she begins to walk and hitchhike. As she reaches the American Army controlled border, she, as all returning Germans did, is detained until all formal paperwork is completed and entrance into Germany is authorized. This begins a six-week-plus adventure, not knowing if her family has survived, during which she is “adopted” by a German farm couple who had recently lost a daughter and a growing friendship with a German-speaking American Sergeant Jackson. Finally her entrance into her homeland is authorized. Through her eyes we travel on the final leg of her journey to Frankfurt while viewing the horror, destruction, and shambles of the former “most perfectly preserved medieval city,” her beloved Frankfurt.

Rogues And Vagabonds

Rogues And Vagabonds

By: Marilyn Lightstone

Rogues and Vagabonds, Marilyn Lightstone’s remarkable first foray into fiction, tells the story of a disparate group of characters brought together by the one great passion they all share: their love of the theatre. There is Milo, Brandoesque bad-boy, whose streetwise machismo conceals the soul of an artist. There is Adam, former TV variety performer, for whom the price of a place in the legitimate theatre is a break with his homosexual past. There is Bobby, the temptress, whose illegitimate pregnancy sets in motion a series of events that will have tragic consequences. And guiding them all is Theo, charismatic founder of NAADA -- the North American Academy of Dramatic Art -- willing to break all rules, and transcend all boundaries, to mold his young charges. Author and multi-award-winning actress Marilyn Lightstone brings a lifetime of personal experience to this rollicking, old-fashioned feast of a novel. Written with passion and an unerring eye for detail, Rogues and Vagabonds is a theatrical saga: an epic tale of the pain endured, the sacrifices made, and the secrets kept in the name of art. “Award-winning stage and screen actress Marilyn Lightstone enters the literary world with an old-fashioned (though far from demure) tale of the perils and passion of theatre. The tale offers much theatrical atmosphere and detail, some lucious sex scenes… an entertaining diversion for a dark [winter] weekend.” -Jim Bartley for THE GLOBE AND MAIL

Understanding Juvenile Justice and Delinquency

By: Marilyn D. McShane,Michael Cavanaugh

This book provides a comprehensive, cutting-edge look at the problems that impact the way we conduct intervention and treatment for youth in crisis today—an indispensable resource for practitioners, students, researchers, policymakers, and faculty working in the area of juvenile justice. Understanding Juvenile Justice and Delinquency provides a concise overview of the most compelling issues in juvenile delinquency today. It covers not only the range of offenses but also the offenders themselves as well as those impacted by crime and delinquency. All of the chapters contain up-to-date research, laws, and data that accurately frame discussions on youth violence, detention, and treatment; related issues such as gangs and drugs; the consequences for scholars, teachers, and students; and best practices in intervention methods. The book's organization guides readers logically from the broader definitions and parameters of the study of juveniles to the more specific. The volume leads with an explanation of the relationship between victimization and juvenile behavior and sets up boundaries of the arenas of delinquency—from the family to the streets to cyberspace. The book then focuses on more specific populations of offenders and offenses, including recent, emerging issues, offering the most accurate information available and cutting-edge insight into the issues that affect youth in custody and in our communities.

The Boys' Club

How Our Group Helped Each Other Survive Divorce

By: Adrian M. Salee,Marilyn Murray Willison

This book is about The Boys' Club, an informal (really, accidental) group of men who gathered quite spontaneously to help each other. But who - once started - found an overwhelming need to continue the process of "being there" for each other. The individuals in the group were all suffering from the effects of marriages that were either already split or were about to be, and who all needed each others' help to learn how to survive, and eventually to recover. Over time, those of us in the club found that we came to depend on each other for caring, support and maybe even some criticism, and that was important. Every one of us had his own version of the same big problem, which was what brought us together and also what kept us together. All of us were alone (or about to be), and we needed some help to find out how to have and keep a successful relationship if we could find one again. We needed encouragement that such a thing was even possible. But we didn't even know all of that at first. What we did know was that we all were in deep pain. A big hole had been left in our lives where a good marriage and a happy family were supposed to be, but weren't. We had experienced what felt like a death in the family, but was, in fact, much worse - this was the death of the very foundation that was meant to support the way we would live our lives.

My Kids Are All Grown Up, So Why Are They Still Driving Me Crazy?

How to Get Along With Your Adult Children, Their Spouses and Other Aliens

By: Bea Lewis,Marilyn Murray Willison

My Kids Are All Grown Up, So Why Are they Still Driving Me Crazy? How To Get Along With Your Adult Children, Their Spouses and Other Aliens By Bea Lewis with Marilyn Murray Willison If you have adult children (i.e., if your kids are grownups), your parenting skills may need a refresher course.. Do your adult kids think you live in the Stone Age?. Do they ignore any advice you give them? . Do your adult children still battle over which sibling is mom or dad's favorite? . Do your grown kids see you as their personal ATM machine?. Does your daughter-in-law treat you like a second class citizen? . Has your child's divorce alienated you from the grandkids? . Do you feel left out when your son or daughter spends more time with the in-laws? If you have answered "yes'' to any of the above questions, you desperately need this guide. "My Kids Are All Grown Up, So Why Are They Still Driving Me Crazy?"was written to help you to be a happy and harmonious parent to your adult children during what some experts now call the second-stage parenting phase. When our kids were little, we knew how to be parents - we taught them to say "please'' and "thank you.'' We knew to kiss a bruised knee and mend a broken heart. We also knew to cheer them on at a Little League game - even when their team was in last place. But then - faster than the speed of light - they grew up, and that's when all the rules on how to be a good parent flew out of the window. Not to worry. This book offers new, helpful guidelines to foster harmony between the generations, and provides the tools needed to enjoy good relationships with your adult kids, their spouses and other aliens.Using real-life scenarios - coupled with advice and opinions from a variety of experts - each chapter focuses on one of today's complicated intergenerational issues such as "adult sibling rivalry,'' "money and inheritance'' (i.e., when giving money to an adult child is more harmful than helpful). One chapter explains the underlying causes for the "mother-in-law/daughter-in-law conflicts'' with tried and true tips for resolution. Other chapters offer suggestions for "dealing with grandkids in mixed-marriages,'' "adult kids who return to the nest,'' "coping with your child's divorce,'' and "how to appreciate your gay or lesbian child.'' More than anything else, this humorous and heartfelt book helps readers learn how to accept their adult children - not as they wish they would be - but as they are."Bea Lewis created an outlet for the wise advice she shared with her newspaper audience. Her guide shows parents how to accept their grown children for who they are - not who they wish they were. '' Anne Rodgers, former Palm Beach Post features editor"A wise, funny, compassionate and practical guide for parents who are struggling to navigate the often- confusing terrain of modern parent/adult child relationships. If you have questions about how to deal with your adult child, Bea Lewis has the answers. Highly recommended!'' Joshua Coleman, Ph.D. Psychologist and Co-Chair, Council on Contemporary Families "Bea Lewis offers the needed solutions for the problems that gnaw at parents of adult children. Terrific!" LeslieBeth Wish, Ed.D. Psychologist and is the family relationship columnist for www.qualityhealth.com , a top- ten health site.

Fragments

Poems, Intimate Notes, Letters

By: Marilyn Monroe

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.

Marilyn Monroe's image is so universal that we can't help but believe that 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 the way the camera fell helplessly in love with her. But what of the other Marilyn? Beyond the headlines -- and the too-familiar stories of heartbreak and desolation -- was a woman far more curious, searching and hopeful than the one the world got to know. Even as Hollywood studios tried to mold and suppress her, Marilyn never lost her insight, her passion, and her humour. To confront the mounting difficulties of her life, she wrote. Now, for the first time, we can meet this private Marilyn and get to know 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. These bits of text--jotted in notebooks, typed on paper or written on hotel letterhead -- 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 so memorable emerge on the page, as does the simmering tragedy that made her last appearances so heartbreaking. Fragments is an event -- an unforgettable book that will redefine one of the greatest stars of the twentieth century and which, nearly fifty years after her death, will definitively reveal Marilyn Monroe's humanity.

Confession inachevée

By: Marilyn Monroe

Hollywood, c'est un endroit où l'on vous offre mille dollars d'un baiser et cinquante cents de votre âme. Je le sais, j'ai assez souvent refusé la première proposition et tenu bon pour les cinquante cents. " Marilyn Monroe, 1954 C'est en 1954 que l'agent de Marilyn, Charles Feldman, contacte Ben Hecht pour lui demander d'aider l'actrice à écrire ses mémoires. À 28 ans, elle a déjà tourné une vingtaine de films, dont ses premiers succès – Niagara et Les hommes préfèrent les blondes – et elle est lasse des inventions et potins des feuilles à scandales. Elle lui dicte les mots qu'il couche sur papier. Pour des raisons personnelles, elle ne poursuit pas ces séances de travail, mais confie le texte inachevé au photographe Milton Greene, son ami de toujours. Publiés aux États-Unis et en France en 1974, ces textes de jeunesse, intimes et bouleversants, politiques et féministes, sont une révélation. Qui était Marilyn Monroe ? Qui se cache derrière la pétillante blonde qui va mettre fin à ses jours à 36 ans, en pleine gloire ? Lire cette Confession inachevée, c'est se rapprocher d'elle, entendre sa voix bien reconnaissable dévoiler les deux faces de sa personnalité, les étapes de sa brève existence. D'abord Norma Jean, l'enfant dont la mère est internée, ballottée entre différentes familles d'accueil. La jeune fille crie son manque d'amour et son besoin constant d'attirer l'attention. Puis Marilyn, le sex-symbol qui côtoie et déteste Hollywood, avec ses ratés, ses dragueurs et ses escrocs, qui se heurte à la jalousie des femmes, mais reste lucide sur la tragédie de son milieu d'adoption.
