Book Description
This collection started as a whisper, a quiet mouth asking questions. Over the years it became a coherent voice that kept getting louder. Now it is a song, sprung from a yearning to fill in the missing parts, to understand my mother's story. Perhaps it's something that goes beyond what is experiential and real and moves into memory and imagination. Perhaps it is a book of magic, of synchronicity and colliding moments in time, too strange to be logical, too concise to be chance. Ultimately, it's a way of shedding light, in order to change the direction of a past. Sometimes, I think it has been formed by my imagined daughter, clearing the way ahead before her own birth. Or by whole generations of women, celebrating a future, formed from the heart of us.

Book Description
This is Marlon Brando’s own story, and his reason for telling it is best revealed in his own words: “I have always considered my life a private affair and the business of no one beyond my family and those I love. Except for moral and political issues that aroused in me a desire to speak out, I have done my utmost throughout my life, for the sake of my children and myself, to remain silent. . . . But now, in my seventieth year, I have decided to tell the story of my life as best I can, so that my children can separate the truth from the myths that others have created about me, as myths are created about everyone swept up in the turbulent and distorting maelstrom of celebrity in our culture.” To date there have been over a dozen books written about Marlon Brando, and almost all of them have been inaccurate, based on hearsay, sensationalist or prurient in tone. Now, at last, fifty years after his first appearance onstage in New York City, the actor has told his life story, with the help of Robert Lindsey. The result is an extraordinary book, at once funny, moving, absorbing, ribald, angry, self-deprecating and completely frank account of the career, both on-screen and off, of the greatest actor of our time. Anyone who has ever enjoyed a Brando film will relish this book. Please note: this edition does not include photos.

Book Description
In 1963, thousands flooded the Lincoln Memorial for Martin Luther King's March on DC. Five miles away, Ellen's father handed rifles to his children. Three months later, Ellen ran home from school to find her father celebrating President Kennedy's assignation. Four years later, her father was dead, and she couldn't understand why the police were charging her mother with his murder. After all, wasn't it clear her father left no choice: someone was eventually going to die, and at least it wasn't her or one of her brothers or sisters. Ellen, however, was never prepared for the mother she knew and loved to die along with her father. Afterwards, very little remained of the college graduate, the accomplished pianist, and the self-confident woman marine who had once appeared in the pages of Life magazine. This is the story of Ellen's journey to recapture that other woman - the beloved mother she lost on that painful day.
