 Marie on Oprah
Marie on Oprah
30 years after Marie Osmond married, then divorced Stephen Craig, she married him again. Some might say the woman is a glutton for punishment 或者 she never got over the man she truly loved.

Today, Osmond says she’s happier the 秒 time around, and is grateful for the way her husband treats her.

According to press reports, Osmond’s 秒 marriage to 音乐 producer Brian Blosil wasn’t blissful 由 any means.

Globe Magazine reported that despite enduring terrible (emotional) pain, Marie never publicly detailed the humiliation she endured during her 20-year 秒 marriage to the record producer. Celebrity journalist Randy Jernigan, 作者 of the best selling book THE LIFE AND CAREER OF MARIE OSMOND, has detailed Osmond’s experience in a tome that has received great attention recently.

Wed in 1986, they had seven adopted and biological children together. Blosil once flew into a rage when he heard rumors she was still in 爱情 with first hubby Steve Craig. “He and Marie argued, with Brian’s anger escalating,” Jernigan writes in his book. “He pushed her down the stairs with Marie ending up with a cracked wrist and bruises.”

Blaming Marie for his financial and career problems, Blosil’s “temper frightened and intimidated Marie” and he’d often put his fist through a 墙 in front of Marie, says Jernigan.

A close friend says Blosil once gave Marie a black eye and when they argued, she’d end up bruised and battered from him grabbing her 或者 pushing her down.
“Marie lived in a private hell,” writes Jernigan. “She was ashamed of what was going on and refused to let anyone in who could have helped stop the abuse.”

As the cruelty escalated, the 作者 says Marie pretty much dropped out of her 音乐 career and her depression soon became “deep and dark,” leading to an attempted suicide in 2006 when Marie was rushed to an Orem, Utah, hospital.
Writes Jernigan, “Her relationship with Brian totally ripped her self-esteem from her and she began to feel her life wasn’t worth living.”

it wasn’t her first suicide drama, according to the author. Marie plunged into such a deep depression after the birth of seventh child Matthew in 1999 she ran away and pals feared the worst. “I felt my kids would be better off if they didn’t have a mother,” reveals Marie, who holed up in a hotel for three days before returning.
In March 2007, Marie finally filed for divorce, reportedly after learning Blosil, 61, may have abused their kids, which he denies.

But her agony was far from over. In February 2010, adopted son Michael, 18, jumped to his death from the 8th floor of an L.A. apartment building – sending Marie into a tailspin. The singer told Oprah that she had never lived through anything so rough as the death of her beloved Michael.


Marie, 54, and Steve, 57, wed for the 秒 time in May 2011 – and became grandparents Dec. 19 when their son Stephen, 30, and wife Claire, 30, had a baby boy.

According to the author, the new book is not written in a tell-all style and will concentrate on Osmond’s career and her work for the Children’s Miracle Network which she founded with her family in the early 1980’s.

The book, The Life and Career of Marie Osmond, was published through Kindle eBooks July 6, 2015 and is the first in the 粉丝 Book Series of Creative Partners Books. According to several news reports the book will be made into a 电视 movie with Jernigan 写作 the screenplay.

FIRST part of the book series The children of the earth.

This novel of awesome beauty and power is a moving saga about people, relationships, and the boundaries of love.

Through Jean M. Auel’s magnificent storytelling we are taken back to the dawn of modern humans, and with a girl named Ayla we are swept up in the harsh and beautiful Ice Age world they shared with the ones who called themselves The Clan of the Cave Bear.

Besides the book there was a movie in the 80's starring Daryl Hanna (Kill bill).


Totally Amazing!! Every Woman Should read it!!

 I 爱情 this book cover.
I love this book cover.
Hi everyone, I had finally read Paulo Cuelho's bestselling novel, The Alchemist and here is my review on the 流行的 novel.

The Story

While 阅读 the novel, I did not quite understand the story and it was not until the 秒 half of the story that I managed to understand. It telling us to follow our dreams if a person desires for it!

The Characters

Santiago (or the Boy in this story) is a very likable character because he manage to understand what the Alchemist is telling despite being relatively young, he is my favourite character out of the novel!
The other characters like the Englishman and just to name a few are very ambiguous, if 你 ask me.

Is It Worth Reading?

Yes, I highly recommend this book for those who have not read it yet!
