Customer Reviews

A book of truth
In an interview, Stephen Spielberg said that the music of John Williams had rewritten his film, that it was the strings of the orchestra of John Williams that really sent Elliott and E. T. airborne on that bicycle. Marlena Dees, with her lucid words, has also rewritten a script, the script of her dispossessed early life, and has made it requisite, ordained, otherwise there would not be the sublime poems and essays of this, her first book. Just as I cannot imagine modern life without the film E. T., I can no longer imagine it without the book The One You Left Behind. Linda Lee Greene, co-author Jesus Gandhi Oma Mae Adams

A Triumph of True Love
In her work Marlena shares with us the bewilderment of a small child left behind by her beloved father, the pain of a woman who must face the death of her true love, and the rejection of a partner who would not return her affection. Finally, there is the triumph of true love found once again.

Be prepared to be moved, enthralled and completely enraptured by "The One You Left Behind."
