Book Description
Ronnie Filbert is a good kid. He's a straight-A student in high school, and he has his own small circle of friends. He stays out of trouble. He doesn't drink or do drugs. In fact, Ronnie doesn't even have a girlfriend. Then he meets Rosemary, and everything changes. Ronnie remembers his childhood days playing with Rosemary, who used to live in his neighborhood, but neither of them are children anymore. Ronnie quickly becomes intimate with Rosemary, and she leads him down a path of intense emotion, compounded by alcohol, drugs, and erotic sex. Ronnie's world becomes confusing. His feelings for Rosemary are deep, but at the same time, he begins experiencing other feelings that are new to him, feelings that are anything but positive. Maybe the bad feelings have been there all along, buried somewhere deep in his psyche, but Ronnie Filbert discovers he has a dark side -- and it needs to be explored.

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
On a sunny spring day, in an ordinary suburban kitchen, the phone rings. There’s been an accident. In one heartbeat, a family’s life is changed forever. After her husband, Hugh, is hit by a car while riding his bicycle, Rosemary Rawlins is plunged into twelve months of marathon caregiving, without the promise of a positive outcome. She works herself to the point of exhaustion to bring her grievously injured husband—who suffered a traumatic brain injury, necessitating the removal of half his skull—back home and back to himself. Then, as he slowly begins to reclaim his life, Rosemary falls apart. She can't sleep. Her heart pounds. Her joy and trust in the world dissolve into endless anxiety. She lays awake at night wondering how her marriage will survive. Will she ever be able to relate to Hugh again? What will become of their relationship? Their children? Do they recognize each other—literally—as the people they fell in love with and married decades ago? How can she let go of her fears? And what can she learn from them? Learning by Accident is a caregiver's story of ambiguous loss, family love, and emotional healing. This compelling personal account demonstrates with heart and humor that what we fear can be more debilitating than any physical injury. And that sometimes starting over is exactly what we need.

Rosemary's Baby
Author: Michael Newton
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1838719016
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 137
Book Description
Rosemary's Baby is one of the greatest movies of the late 1960s and one of the best of all horror movies, an outstanding modern Gothic tale. An art-house fable and an elegant popular entertainment, it finds its home on the cusp between a cinema of sentiment and one of sensation. Michael Newton's study of the film traces its development at a time when Hollywood stood poised between the old world and the new, its dominance threatened by the rise of TV and cultural change, and the roles played variously by super producer Robert Evans, the film's producer William Castle, director Polanski and its stars including Mia Farrow and John Cassavetes. Newton's close textual analysis explores the film's meanings and resonances, and, looking beyond the film itself, he examines its reception and cultural impact, and its afterlife, in which Rosemary's Baby has become linked with the terrible murder of Polanski's wife and unborn child by members of the Manson cult, and with controversies surrounding the director.
