Beauty mark : a verse novel of Marilyn Monroe Cover Image Book Book

Beauty mark : a verse novel of Marilyn Monroe / Carole Boston Weatherford.

Weatherford, Carole Boston, 1956- (author.).

Summary:

From the day she was born as Norma Jeane Mortenson, to her reigning days as a Hollywood icon, Marilyn Monroe lived a life that was often defined by others. This verse novel revisits Marilyn's often traumatic early life of foster homes, loneliness, sexual abuse, teen marriage, and follows her into a hard-won, meteoric rise to stardom that brought with it exploitation, pill dependency, and depression. In covering moments of extraordinary pain and moments of unexpected grace, gumption, and perseverance, we learn the inexorable power of pursuing one's dreams. -- adapted from jacket
