 Marie on Oprah
Marie on Oprah
30 years after Marie Osmond married, then divorced Stephen Craig, she married him again. Some might say the woman is a glutton for punishment অথবা she never got over the man she truly loved.

Today, Osmond says she’s happier the সেকেন্ড time around, and is grateful for the way her husband treats her.

According to press reports, Osmond’s সেকেন্ড marriage to সঙ্গীত producer Brian Blosil wasn’t blissful দ্বারা any means.

Globe Magazine reported that despite enduring terrible (emotional) pain, Marie never publicly detailed the humiliation she endured during her 20-year সেকেন্ড marriage to the record producer. Celebrity journalist Randy Jernigan, লেখক of the best selling book THE LIFE AND CAREER OF MARIE OSMOND, has detailed Osmond’s experience in a tome that has received great attention recently.

Wed in 1986, they had seven adopted and biological children together. Blosil once flew into a rage when he heard rumors she was still in প্রণয় with first hubby Steve Craig. “He and Marie argued, with Brian’s anger escalating,” Jernigan writes in his book. “He pushed her down the stairs with Marie ending up with a cracked wrist and bruises.”

Blaming Marie for his financial and career problems, Blosil’s “temper frightened and intimidated Marie” and he’d often put his fist through a দেওয়াল in front of Marie, says Jernigan.

A close friend says Blosil once gave Marie a black eye and when they argued, she’d end up bruised and battered from him grabbing her অথবা pushing her down.
“Marie lived in a private hell,” writes Jernigan. “She was ashamed of what was going on and refused to let anyone in who could have helped stop the abuse.”

As the cruelty escalated, the লেখক says Marie pretty much dropped out of her সঙ্গীত career and her depression soon became “deep and dark,” leading to an attempted suicide in 2006 when Marie was rushed to an Orem, Utah, hospital.
Writes Jernigan, “Her relationship with Brian totally ripped her self-esteem from her and she began to feel her life wasn’t worth living.”

it wasn’t her first suicide drama, according to the author. Marie plunged into such a deep depression after the birth of seventh child Matthew in 1999 she ran away and pals feared the worst. “I felt my kids would be better off if they didn’t have a mother,” reveals Marie, who holed up in a hotel for three days before returning.
In March 2007, Marie finally filed for divorce, reportedly after learning Blosil, 61, may have abused their kids, which he denies.

But her agony was far from over. In February 2010, adopted son Michael, 18, jumped to his death from the 8th floor of an L.A. apartment building – sending Marie into a tailspin. The singer told Oprah that she had never lived through anything so rough as the death of her beloved Michael.


Marie, 54, and Steve, 57, wed for the সেকেন্ড time in May 2011 – and became grandparents Dec. 19 when their son Stephen, 30, and wife Claire, 30, had a baby boy.

According to the author, the new book is not written in a tell-all style and will concentrate on Osmond’s career and her work for the Children’s Miracle Network which she founded with her family in the early 1980’s.

The book, The Life and Career of Marie Osmond, was published through Kindle eBooks July 6, 2015 and is the first in the অনুরাগী Book Series of Creative Partners Books. According to several news reports the book will be made into a টেলিভিশন movie with Jernigan লেখা the screenplay.

Preface

“Okay honey, it’s your first time on a plane!” my mother cooed me. I was five then so I didn’t hate it entirely. “I’m ready Mommy!” I said. We sat in section… 1A and 1B.
My mother was overly excited for the both of us because it was also her first time on a plane.
After takeoff, my mother spotted San Diego, which was the wrong direction. We were going to visit my grandparents in Michigan. It felt like the plane was dropping all of a sudden.
“Mommy, are we going to land now?” I asked. “I’m going to go talk to the pilot honey. I’ll be right back.” My mother...

We hear a lot about sexism against females, and some people think this extends to books, which it probably does. A lot of বই have no females in them, অথবা only have weak female characters, like damsels in distress which are just there to be saved দ্বারা males. But recently, there has been a lot of strong, resourceful new female book characters. Here are my favourite strong heroines- and two of them are from বই written দ্বারা male authors, so well done men for realising that females can be string too.

"War is not women's history," Virginia Woolf observed. But when confronted with it, members of that sex have summoned levels of courage and resourcefulness to rival those of any military commander. In A Train In Winter, Caroline Moorehead focuses on a group of women worthy of particular awe, both for the bravery they demonstrated and the brutality they endured.
The শিরোনাম refers to a vehicle that in January 1943 transported 230 women — all members of the French Resistance battling the German occupation of their country — to Nazi death camps. They ranged in age from 15 to 68, in occupation...

In 1897 England, sixteen-year-old Finley Jayne has no one…except the “thing” inside her. When a young lord tries to take advantage of Finley, she fights back. And wins. But no normal Victorian girl has a darker side that makes her capable of knocking out a full-grown man with one punch…
Only Griffin King sees the magical darkness inside her that says she’s special, says she’s one of them. The orphaned duke takes her in from the gaslit streets against the wishes of his band of misfits: Emily, who has her own special abilities and an unrequited প্রণয় for Sam, who is part robot; and...

I just finished লেখা a novel a few months ago, and im trying to get as much feedback as possible on it :) it's fiction, ফ্যান্টাসি in particular. here's the summary for it! I'm not great at লেখা summaries, but i tried :) Please comment!!!

1. Harry Potter দ্বারা J.K. Rowling

Like, duh.

In my opinion, it's both the best YA series ever and the best ফ্যান্টাসি series ever. Why? Harry Potter is the best of everything - the best characters, the best plots, the best writing.

The characters are people আপনি can fall in প্রণয় with, and not just the main নায়ক and the main villains. Even আরো minor characters are pretty extensively developed, like Snape, Pettigrew, Neville, even Dean অথবা Seamus. They all have histories and quirks and unique personalities and very few authors are able to so vividly create such a huge cast of characters.

Similarly, the...

The Classical Vampire
The first vampire to appear in fictional literature was created দ্বারা the British লেখক John William Polidori in his book ‘The Vampyre’.

It is in this novel that we find the original,...

Mmkay, this is a really powerful-but really long- quote and I really hope আপনি take just a few মিনিট out of whatever you're doing and read it.

"I was telling আপনি about evil, now that I know what it is. It's what makes a man get drunk and press a red hot poker on his child's back. It's what makes men have to queue for hours at the dock gates for a chance of a job when there are only a dozen jobs for a hundred men, so they fight each other in order to get them, and the foreman laugh and egg them on. It's what takes an old couple who've got nothing left but each other and splits them up to go...
