The Boy Who Took Marilyn to the Prom"The Boy Who Took Marilyn to the Prom"
by Henry Massie

In 1961, a year before her death, Marilyn Monroe's last psychiatrist invited her into his family in a desperate attempt to save her by giving her a family she never had. The doctor suggests that his son take the actress to his senior prom, an experience Marilyn had missed because she had never finished school. That night haunted the boy until 2007, when, as a psychiatrist himself, he takes on a patient who reminds him of Marilyn.

"Intrepid, vivid, thoughtful. It takes us inside the psychotherapy office, face to face with the dangers psychiatrists and their patients run of becoming slaves to their feelings for each other," says Bridget Connelly, prizewinning author of "Forgetting Ireland." Midwest Review calls it "a thought-provoking reflection on the dark side of glamour and the hidden recesses of the psyche." Purchase at https://amzn.to/3zE00w0.
