Immortelles
by Mireille Marokvia
In Immortelles: Memoir of a Will-o'-the Wisp, Mireille Marokvia blurs the distinction between the real and the imagined to create not only a magical and poetic memoir, but an account of how a woman gives voice to her vision, and to the ghosts that continue to haunt her memory. A moving elegy of a lost world, it is testimony to the splendor of childhood, even one touched by death.

My Sister Marilyn
by Bernice Baker Miracle
The first time Berniece Miracle saw Norma Jeane's face was in a blurry junior high school portrait that came with a letter from this sister she'd never known. She kept the letter, and she kept the photo of the pretty twelve-year-old face. Before long, it would be the most famous face in the world. Yes, Marilyn Monroe had a sister. And in My Sister Marilyn, Berniece Baker Miracle tells the story you've never heard before: the story of the private person rather than of the calendar girl - of Marilyn the sister, of Marilyn the daughter, of Marilyn the aunt. Berniece and Marilyn had different fathers but the same mother, whose mental illness affected both their lives. The sisters grew up seven years and a continent apart - Marilyn (then Norma Jeane) in the care of her mother's California friends; Berniece with her father's family in Kentucky. Not until Berniece was nineteen and Norma Jeane twelve did the two sisters learn of each other. It was during the final years of the Depression, and at first neither could afford the cross-country trip to meet in person. So Berniece and Norma Jeane exchanged letters, photographs, and phone calls, forging a lasting bond. Their relationship continued, with letters and visits even after Marilyn's fame made this difficult. Berniece and her daughter, Mona Rae, treasured their time spent with this beautiful young woman just starting her modeling and acting career. When Marilyn died in 1962, it was Berniece who flew to California to help Joe DiMaggio with the funeral arrangements, even picking out the dress Marilyn was buried in. In My Sister Marilyn, Berniece Baker Miracle and Mona Rae Miracle share memories of their famous relative - a story they have keptprivate since the early days of Marilyn's fame - and forty-two photographs and letters, most of which are published here for the first time. Their book is unlike what we have come to expect in a celebrity biography. Their purpose is the opposite of sensationalism: they want Marilyn's fans to know the warm-hearted woman they knew - the one who sent them her favorite dresses, repeatedly warned them about protecting their privacy, and tried to provide her schizophrenic mother with a home even as her own world became increasingly troubled.
