On Leaving: Round Two
On Leaving: Round Two – June, 2015 Three years ago, I wrote a piece (attached here) about my first born leaving the nest. It went semi-viral which was complimentary, but certainly not my intent. For me, writing is therapeutic and I shared my sentiments as a comfort to...
On Leaving…
I wrote this three years ago as my daughter was leaving for college. As I’ve mentioned, I write as a means of therapy and getting this down on paper did the trick for me. I’ve gotten some requests to publish it again so if it can help any of you as your child...
If Reading Were Genetic…
If Reading Were Genetic… by Lauren Margolin I’d love to think that reading is a hereditary passion; that there’s a gene for the simple love of reading. And maybe there is, who knows? One of my kids follows my book loving footsteps, while the other trails in my...Shop on Amazon Here!

Review:![]()
Strangers in the Night by Heather Webb was an intimate introduction to Frank Sinatra and his lifelong love, Ava Gardner. Admittedly, I knew next to nothing about the man or the woman behind their star status. I for sure have heard Frank’s music as my parents were, and still are, fans of his songs.![]()

The good news is that by writing in the first person from Frank’s POV and Ava’s POV, the reader is introduced to them in an accessible way. It didn’t matter if you’ve been a lifelong fan or not familiar with either of them, we all start the book as equals.![]()

I was shocked at the at how fast their relationship could go from cold to hot. The way they could both love and fight with such passion and acrimony was crazy. Yet they always, well almost always, came back to one another.![]()

Learning about how they were raised, the struggles they went through, and the allowances given to men (not women) were all addressed throughout the book. Depression, alcoholism, addiction, and infidelity were commonplace in star-studded Hollywood.![]()

Fans of movies and old Hollywood will adore this book and folks like me, who knew little to none about Frank and Ava will enjoy it too!![]()
