In the summer of 1962, nothing could prepare Dr. Charles Campbell for his first meeting with new client, Marilyn Monroe. A reputable L.A. psychiatrist, he’s been hired by a studio executive to treat and subdue the star, no matter what it takes. Although he’s been warned about Ms. Monroe’s unpredictability, she’s not what he expected. Gaining Marilyn’s trust means crossing doctor-patient boundaries, and trying to separate fact from Hollywood-fed-rumors proves destructive to both Charles’ career and his personal life. As Marilyn shares her secrets and threatens to go public with information that could destroy President Kennedy’s administration, Charles’ world turns upside-down. He sinks deeper into her troubles than he should, but Charles becomes determined to help her, even though it means endangering Marilyn’s life and risking his own.

REVIEW

Marilyn Monroe is one of those icons that we don't forget, even years after her death.   The book, A Dream Called Marilyn by author, Mercedes King writes a b

ook that gives us inspiration and pages that you don't won't to quit turning.  The author, goes into the final days of Marilyn Monroe through Dr. Charles Campbell, her psychoanalyst.  Ms. Monroe was struggling to find herself while being int he Hollywood scene and the Kennedy political life.  The story has such a complex plot to it that the world has been kept guessing what Ms. Monroe could have become and accomplished if she hadn't died.  Her life has many questions that are unanswered.  Even in her death there were answers to be had.  Dr. Campbell story was just as interesting.   He was trapped in his life just Ms. Monroe was only for different reasons. Ms. Monroe was very charming and vulnerable and Dr. Campbell was falling for her.  The author wrote a tantalizing book that gave the reader an eyewitness account into the last days of Ms. Monroe's life through Dr. Campbell's eyes.

Mercedes King wrote a book about one of our never to be forgotten icons and what her life held.  As the reader you wonder what a different person she couldn't have been, but that is true for all of us.  If only?

I was given a complimentary copy of A DREAM CALLED MARILYN from the author, Mercedes King and Pump Up Your Book Virtual Book Tours for my view of the book.

I would give this book 5 STARS.
