Bits and Pieces: My Mother, My Brother, and Me” by Whoopi Goldberg
The loss of a parent at any stage of life is difficult, and healing takes time. Whoopi’s book gives a unique perspective on loss, and the process of healing. Things like this take time and call on all of the resources of the soul to chart a path forward. Whoopi is an emotive healer. If you have spent any time watching her body of work (EGOT recipient) you know this. Her reflections and the anecdotes of her experiences from childhood to adulthood give a unique glimpse into the life and times that made her into who she is today. There are so many places in the text where you can relate and say, “Yeah, I get that.”
By the end of the book you realize that it was not only Whoopi who grew and changed,
it is likely that you did too.

No Time Like the Future: An Optimist Considers Mortality
by Michael J. Fox
From an incredible description of on-screen theatrics, monologues, and antics, to the very real physical challenges of aging with Parkinson’s Disease, Michael J. Fox expresses all of this in his book called No Time Like the Future. Michael gives an eye-opening account of the rigors of his acting regimen of the early years of his career. This is followed by the discussing the challenges to himself, to his family, and to his friends as he lives one day
at a time with Parkinson’s. Michael reminds us to take nothing for granted in this life,
and how to find the deeper and lasting meaning in life’s events, in our families, and in the people we meet along the way. There is a bit of irony in that No Time Like the Future teaches us to appreciate the here and now.
Star of the Show
By Dolly Parton
Can a girl like being fancy and having fun? Sure she can! But there is much more to the story of Dolly Parton. She would be the first to tell you that she enjoys show business,
but she would also caution you that there is a lot of hard work behind the music and the glamour. Dolly knows about lean times and times of abundance. She knows about ups and downs. Dolly is an optimist throughout the book. The message that hard work pays
off is clear. Tough times, bad breaks, heated disagreements, and complicated travel…
it’s all there. Did Dolly survive it all? Read the book to get a bird’s eye view of what it means to be the Star of the Show!
P.S. Go online and check out how Dolly pays-it-forward with children’s books, Dollywood,
and so many other projects.
