    Some children still spent summer hopping in Kent. Our class went camping in Ashdown Forest, a change from the bomb sites. We had the cubs and brownies where we earned proficiency badges in a number of skills. On Sundays, the Lido was a short bus ride away.More of our relations now came from Ireland and our Christmas parties were exciting. Passing the scholarship meant losing friends but gaining new ones. Among my friends in the streets of Paddington, this meant I was an outsider once more - a mixed blessed.

    Author Dexter Ray, a parolee that in the past recklessly traded a possible professional NBA basketball career for a "life of crime," has spent nearly 30- years incarcerated, on probation, or parole in the Florida and Georgia Prison Systems. He speaks from firsthand experience about by embracing 3- golden rules is the only way for a person to not turn to a life of crime ever in his straight-talk audiobook, “From Good To Bad, Then To Good Forever.” Also, check out Dexter’s other personal growth workshop book, “Hey! Are You Train Ready?,” and his two ultimate self-help guidebooks, “I’m Train Ready!”, and “Walk From Bad To Better, Then Run From Good To Great! (Written by him and co-author wife Raphaela Ray)." 
    Inside this audiobook, Dexter talks about in the year of 2011 after a day of bloody riots inside of a Georgia prison during his 16th year of incarceration led a warden to ask him to do a drawing of a train showing men going from bad to good, and this inspired Dexter to change his life.  Also, inside this audio book Dexter explains in detail his experiences that we all go through at some point in life when we have to rise after we’ve taken a hard fall as a result of bad decisions that sometimes can be life-changing moments, or when life deals us a terrible hand that makes us stop and change directions from living a life of crime to forever living as a law-abiding citizen and productive member of society. However, there is only one way to do this and that’s to embrace the 3- golden rules found inside this audiobook. They have been tested and proven to be whole-heartedly true and a solid contributing factor to his forever freedom.

    Marilyn Monroe has been gone for over sixty years, and yet people are still talking about her. What, exactly, is the spell she casts on so many? Stunning, exciting to watch, incredibly famous, Monroe lived a very public life and died young, with a sad suddenness. All of this is true, and yet there is so much more to her story. 
     
     
     
    On Marilyn Monroe: An Opinionated Guide looks past the sensation to the real legacy—her richly varied body of work. Both during her life and following her death, Monroe was dismissed as more of a phenomenon than an actor, often an object of ridicule instead of a performer whose work could be taken seriously. The truth that lay behind the dazzling surface was that she was one of the hardest working of actors. Rigorously applying both skillful technique and an inherent charisma, she was able to create truly unforgettable performances. 
     
     
     
    In this lively guide, Richard Barrios looks beyond the ballyhoo and legend at Monroe's best-known films, and some that remain obscure. It also addresses the work she did on television and the stage, as well as her underrated abilities as a vocalist. Both an informative study and a perceptive critical assessment, On Marilyn Monroe: An Opinionated Guide gives this brilliant performer the attention she desired—that of an artist whose work deserves both examination and celebration.
