4.9/5 (32316 ratings)

Description:Hardly any relationship is more fraught with unspoken feelings and words than one between a male psychiatrist and a sad female patient. It is even more so when the patient takes the therapist back to tormenting memories of a woman from his youth. In 1961, a year before her death, Marilyn Monroe's last psychiatrist invited her into his family in a desperate attempt to save the actress by giving her a family she never had. One evening over dinner the doctor suggests that his son take the actress to his senior prom at Hollywood High School, an experience Marilyn missed because she never finished school. She was 35-looking no older than a college coed-and the boy was 17. That night haunts him until 2007 when that youth, now a psychiatrist himself, takes on a patient who reminds him of Marilyn. Praise for The Boy Who Took Marilyn to the Prom"Intrepid, vivid, thoughtful. It takes us inside the psychotherapy office, face to face with the dangers psychiatrists and their patients run of becoming slaves to their feelings for each other,"- Bridget Connelly , prizewinning author of Forgetting Ireland "Gripping and convincing,"- Cheryl Colopy , prizewinning author of Dirty Sacred RiversWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
