Description: Beauty Mark by Carole Boston Weatherford Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description In a powerful novel in verse, an award-winning author offers an eye-opening look at the life of Marilyn Monroe.From the day she was born into a troubled home to her reigning days as a Hollywood icon, Marilyn Monroe (née Norma Jeane Mortenson) lived a life that was often defined by others. Here, in a luminous poetic narrative, acclaimed author Carole Boston Weatherford tells Marilyns story in a way that restores her voice to its rightful place: center stage. Revisiting Marilyns often traumatic early life—foster homes, loneliness, sexual abuse, teen marriage—through a hard-won, meteoric rise to stardom that brought with it exploitation, pill dependency, and depression, the lyrical narrative continues through Marilyns famous performance at JFKs birthday party, three months before her death. In a story at once riveting, moving, and unflinching, Carole Boston Weatherford tells a tale of extraordinary pain and moments of unexpected grace, gumption, and perseverance, as well as the inexorable power of pursuing ones dreams. A beautifully designed volume.
