Marilyn's Story

Thrown Away Children Book 9

De: Louise Allen

Narrado por: Melanie Crawley

An unhealthy obsession and a dark secret spell trouble for Louise in a disturbing case...

A baby is named ‘Marilyn’ after the Hollywood legend, Norma Jean.

Marilyn inherits her parents’ fascination for Marilyn Monroe and develops an obsession with her alter-ego. She wears red lipstick and emulates the curvy, platinum-blond film star from a very young age.

When her family is torn apart by tragedy, she finds herself in the care system, and systematically derails foster-carer Louise’s family holiday.©2023 Louise Allen (P)2024 W. F. Howes Ltd

Amazing author

the 1st book I listened to I didn't really understand her format but now I'm hooked. I always admired her good heart and beautiful soul for fostering. after reading her personal experiences of her foster care I really admire and respect her. the story telling is well rounded and gives perspective for all the characters. Louise is an extraordinary human being . I will continue to support her. I don't know many people who could not only thrive after but turn their brutal upbringing into something so tender and beautiful. just wow!

love her book. have them all

there isn't anything I don't like. She is a Great writer and story telling. I have the upmost respect for her and loyed. keep up the great job

Hard truths

Brilliant book. I was literally yelling out loud mad and then laughing all at the same time. The writing and storytelling is perfect. I want every foster caretaker to read Louis Allen’s books!

very good

I am a Jehovah s witness so it's strange to hear about it in such a negative light. but hey we all have different experiences. mine was nothing like hers. I had a good childhood. but it's great how louise puts you in the person's shoes. how they are feeling comes across so strongly. and I'm so glad things get better at the end. I don't want to ruin it for anyone but it's nice the under dog in life gets another chance to shine.

Evokes emotions...all of them.

L.A. has a style i have not foubd with other authors of Foster Care. I enjoy her straight forward and honest self monologs and the emotions she brings out for the children.
