Book Description

Forbidden Love with a Married Man; E-mail Diaries describes one couple's journey as they struggle with sexual identity and how it conflicts with right and wrong. More than 4 million women are currently or have been married to either a gay or bisexual man. Often the gay spouse feels forced by societal and family pressures into marriage, suppressing his true feelings in order to be socially accepted by appearing "straight." However, in secret these men cheat on their wives by conducting affairs with members of the same sex. This day-by-day memoir diary includes actual daily e-mails and correspondence between the author, Dennis Schleicher, and his 14-year married boyfriend. Will his boyfriend leave his wife and confess to her his love and desire to live with another man, or will he be trapped in his own insecurities and not move to a side of life he has kept hidden all of these years, risking the loss of his potential "soulmate"? Every married and single woman and male and/or those engaged in a relationship will learn the truth about two loving people who are highly challenged to reveal their innermost souls in order to "survive."

4 out of 5 stars Riveting, thoughtful and perceptive.......2007-07-18

Wow! Thank you Dennis for writing this thoughtful and unique tale of a potent topic. I am divorced for the past 6 years from an 18 year marriage and fell in love last year with a man who was married for 33 years. In fact today is the one year anniversary of our first phone call. So when I stumbled across this book I ordered it immediately. It arrived Monday and I finished the last page on Tuesday.
I found it riveting and insightful although, in certain parts, the style of writing reminds me of a cheesy romance novel. But when you find yourself living a romance novel then it's a case of life imitating art.
I've read that a sequel is in the works. I can't wait to see what happens to this couple and I look forward to any insights offered by the author's experience. Kudos.

4 out of 5 stars Must read for those who suspect........2007-05-17

Because I'm not a gay male, I bought Forbidden Love with a Married Man to research for a novel I'm writing. The book gave me needed insight to understand some aspects of gay relationships, and consequently, I think anyone who even suspects their husband is gay should read this book.

I commend Dennis for his honesty in exposing his private life to help others affected by these relationships. I would have liked to see the next stage of the journey that Bryon and Dennis went through. Something along the line of How to Survive Your Boyfriend's Divorce. The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is because deciding to leave is different than actually leaving, thus a significant amount of the story is left out. Perhaps that was because of the need to get this portion of the story out.

Now that Dennis has shown us the journey in deciding to leave I hope he'll share his journey as the other man waiting for someone to leave and share Byron's difficult journey of coming out and actually leaving.

5 out of 5 stars This book nearly saved my life.......2007-04-07

Forbidden Love with a married man:e-mail diaries written by Dennis Schleicher was the nourishment I needed going through the darkest time in my life. I am a married gay man that has been riddled with guilt because I feel that I created victims in my wife and children for selfish reasons. I got married even though I knew I was gay but I new what societies expectations were of me and I thought marriage would somehow heal those desires. They didn't and they never will for anyone. Dennis's book not only helped me understand that my intentions weren't to do harm but to follow societies narrow expectations they have for men and woman. I truly did what I thought was right. I now have hurt my wife and children and it nearly cost me my life until this book was given to me. I have since join Dennis annonymous group for married men and he is not only wise and insightful but very compassionate and has personally helped guide me back out of the darkness of dispair that I was in. This book WILL and SHOULD become a movie. Thank you Dennis for your inspiration. Most sincerely, Aaron

Book Description

From his breakout role in Dr. Kildare, through more than four decades of unforgettable performances on television and in film, Richard Chamberlain has epitomized the ideal leading man. Strong and handsome, sophisticated yet kindly, his public persona has drawn fans of all ages. But despite his worldwide acclaim in The Thorn Birds and Shogun -- two of the most successful miniseries of all time -- the actor himself has never led a life of easy confidence. Even at the height of his fame he lived in constant fear that the "real" Richard would one day be discovered -- and that the love he had gained from fans, family, and friends would be ripped away.

In Shattered Love, Richard Chamberlain recounts his fascinating journey as an impressionable boy growing up in postwar California who stumbled into the Hollywood of big studios, big money, and big personas. Through long days on the set and glittering evenings on the town with Joan Crawford, Princess Margaret, Elizabeth Taylor, and a cast of other colorful characters, Chamberlain gamely and tirelessly played his Golden Boy role. As time passed, however, he longed to reconcile his deepest self with his public persona -- including his sexual orientation, a secret he has guarded until now. With candor, honesty, and wit, Shattered Love captures Chamberlain's poignant struggle to come to terms with the truths in his life -- from his tumultuous relationship with his troubled father to his lifelong quest to find spiritual truth in everyday life.

Warm, touching, and brave, Shattered Love draws on a lifetime of stories and on lessons learned from some of the most inspiring spiritual teachers of our time -- sharing with readers the author's own journey from desperate suppression to a life lived with an open heart.

Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Chamberlain's book is more of a career overview and insight into his spirituality .......2007-05-17

I am a huge Thorn Birds fan and remember how popular Shogun was while growing up in the early 1980s. I bought the book believing it was going to focus on when and why Richard Chamberlain "came out of the closet" recently (and finally) to the public. Instead, most of the book focuses on his career and his spiritual journey through the years. He mentions his long-term boyfriend but there is a lot of spiritual mumbo-jumbo (hence the title of the book). A good read if you know very little about his career.

5 out of 5 stars Inside Look at a Truly Gifted Actor.......2007-05-14

This book was an inside personal look of a gifted actor! Richard Chamberlain is a wonderful actor and stole my heart in The Thorn Birds. It was a great read!

3 out of 5 stars "Shattered" my respect for him and lost ME -- forever!.......2007-03-13

I waited four decades to read the real truth about a childhood heart-throb. Now, I regret that the book was ever written. I "loved" Richard Chamberlain as Dr. James Kildare from the time I was five years old. (For three consecutive Halloweens, I made door-to-door "housecalls", dressed as my hero.) It tortured me when I had to wait from the time the program went "off the air" until he portrayed Hamlet. I remember very well as I watched Hamlet how I got a sense of something drastically "wrong" but was too young to put into words what I "felt." The older I got, the more I failed to understand why he hadn't married. After I aged and understood the concept of what I surmised, I really believed it to be the reason he hadn't married and had a family. Then, just before the book was published, I saw a tabloid showing him and Martin which confirmed my thoughts. When I started reading the book, I kept wishing the words I did not really want to see would be magically eradicated from the paper. Ofcourse that did not happen. For the first time I just viewed The THORN BIRDS." (...back in 2003 when I first read the book and wrote this review, which I kept "on hold" -- but the review kept "coming back to haunt me" when I looked at papers on my desk. If I had put it onto Amazon, I would have been one of the first ones to review the book. I just hoped the whole thing would "go away!") For two decades, I had wanted to see the movie, but for seventeen years, we did not have television reception. He was a wonderful actor, but his personal life has much to be desired. Chamberlain is an eloquent writer, well versed, sophisticated, and intellectual, but I am sorry he ever wrote this work. I was tiring of his father being "blamed" for being the "root of all evil." It was a feeble attempt at spiritualism. He had some interesting points, but this topic was overdone. His blatant, irresponsible drug episode LOST ME FOREVER! Lastly, there seems to be a parallel (see page 64) during one of his Dr. Kildare, episodes when he states that the character Gloria Swanson played "... becomes acquainted with a much younger female patient and the two become friends..." was that a foreshadowing of a relationship yet to pass-- that of him and "young" Martin? With regard to Swanson as an actress, he continues on page 65 "... her playing was never as full again, and she knew it. I don't know when I've felt so bad for a person. I knew this performance, coming near the end of her legendary career, was probably one of this actress' last." -- not too unlike THIS BOOK being one of Richard Chamberlain's final performances. Richard Chamerlain, the good actor, whose life could be considered a bad play.

5 out of 5 stars Illuminating Look Into The Heart Of A Gentle But Troubled Soul...............................2006-03-06

Richard Chamberlain has always possessed an unusual aura of grace, radiance, and tranquility about him. It is an aura that many fans have been drawn to, and found very appealing. But as Richard candidly reveals in "Shattered Love," this outward persona effectively hid a much deeper sense of personal unworthiness, and persistent unhappiness.

To an outsider looking in, Richard Chamberlain, the immensely popular star of "Dr. Kildare," had little to be unhappy about. He was tall, slim, and extraordinarily handsome, with a legion of female fans who idolized him. He was personable and charming, and enjoyed great respect among his peers for his strong work ethic and unfailing professionalism. He was also extremely talented; he was a gifted actor, singer, painter, writer, and dancer. But boyhood insecurities, fed by his domineering and alcoholic father, and his own growing awareness of his homosexuality, continued to be his nemesis throughout adulthood. As Richard states in his book, he was a product of the conservative forties and fifties, and was as homophobic as anyone. He made a personal pact with himself to never reveal his shameful secret to anyone; it was a pact he would keep for many, many years.

In "Shattered Love," Richard Chamberlain provides us with an intimate and insightful look at the many struggles and successes that have shaped and colored his fascinating life. We read about the sensitive boy with the gentle spirit, and what it was like growing up under the stifling rule of his emotionally abusive, and self-aggrandizing father. We learn how, as a young adult trying to "please the crowd at all costs," Richard perfected the charming "All American Boy" persona that would be synonymous with his name for years to come. And when Hollywood comes knocking, we go along for the joyous ride, as an inexperienced and insecure actor is launched overnight into the intoxicating world of instant fame, celebrity, and financial success.

The author himself is a deeply spiritual and soul-searching man, who has looked to psychologists and spiritual teachers to guide him back from a life lived in fear, to a life transcended by love. Some of the philosophies that have been so helpful to Richard personally, and are presented here in his book, may not resonate or be understood by all of his readers. But even the most complex ideas are never offered with an "I HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS" attitude, or with the mindset of "IT'S MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY." Rather, this genuinely humble and warm-hearted actor simply offers up spiritual ideas to contemplate, that have proven instrumental to his own current state of self-contentment..........a state that he worked so long and tirelessly to achieve.

"Shattered Love" is an inspiring book, beautifully written with a sincere sense of joy, and heartfelt optimism. It is an emotionally honest rendition of the life and shortcomings of Richard Chamberlain--a man who strives to be open-hearted, but freely admits to being "absurdly judgmental" at times. Though normally an intensely private person, Mr. Chamberlain temporarily shelves that reputation with the publication of his book; a book that provides a rare glimpse into the gentle soul of the man behind the public image. What emerges from these pages is a picture of a man of uncommon class and grace........one who possesses an endearing sense of humility and graciousness about him. Though well into the sunset years of his career, Richard Chamberlain still enjoys tremendous personal popularity among fans throughout the world. After spending time reading "Shattered Love," it is easy to understand why he still generates so much genuine affection--his class and appeal are truly timeless.

Book Description

For more than a decade, Kathy Harrison has sheltered a shifting cast of troubled youngsters-the offspring of prostitutes and addicts; the sons and daughters of abusers; and teenage parents who can't handle parenthood. What would motivate someone to give herself over to constant, largely uncompensated chaos? How does she manage her extraordinary blended family? Why would anyone voluntarily take on her job?

Harrison is no saint, but an ordinary woman doing heroic work. In Another Place at the Table, she describes her life at our social services' front lines-centered around three children who, when they come together in her home, nearly destroy it. Danny, age eight, is borderline mentally retarded and a budding pedophile (a frequent result of sexual abuse in boys). No other family will take him in. Tough, magnetic Sara, age six, is dangerously promiscuous (a typical manifestation of abuse in girls). Karen, six months, shares Danny's legal advocate, who must represent the interests of both. All three living under the same roof will lead to an inevitable explosion-but for each, Harrison's care offers the greatest hope of a reinvented childhood.

For readers of The Lost Children of Wilder, Expecting Adam, and Somebody Else's Kids, this is the first-person story of a woman whose compassionate best intentions for a child are sometimes all that stand between violence and redemption.

I loved this book. As a therapist who has just written a book about a teen girl in foster care I think it's important to focus on the incredible work that foster parents do. They are our unsung heroes! Thank you Kathy!!!!! For a fictional, uplifting account of the journey of a teen in foster care (inspired by the foster children I've worked with in the past) check out my soon-to-be released young adult novel, RETURNABLE GIRL. Maybe it will inspire you to bring a child home.

I could not put this book down!! I like to read about foster children because I am studdying that in college. Kathy Harrison
is a great author as well as a great foster mother as well. I hope she continues to put out more stories about foster mothering, she does so well at both!! She is very honest in her book, and states that she has a tough time with some, and an even tougher time with others. She is definitely a fighter, and it gives me more respect towards her as aperosn that she shares her tough times as well as some joyous situations while enduring the challenges as a foster mother. I also like the fact that her husband was backing her up 100%. If anyone else knows where I can read more books by her (or in relation to this same subject) email me at tbyrd6969@yahoo.com
Otherwise, happy reading!!!

Being a foster parent myself for almost four years, I know how difficult it can sometimes be to explain to others what my world is like. Kathy Harrison was right on the mark with this book. It was consistent, educational and emotional. It brought so many of the "zany" parts of foster parenting together and made it real for others. Kudos Kathy, I hope this book encourages many others to join us on the zany ride!

5 out of 5 stars The Family Table.......2004-06-18

This account of providing a home for children who were in dire need is heartwarming and encouraging. Many of the children who had a place at this table had parents who were in jail or were deemed legally unable to care for them. Each child came equipped with major emotional baggage.

The love and acceptance and diligent, dogged efforts on behalf of each child in this home have indeed raised the bar. Instead of being a stark and grim account akin to Dickens, this work instead is uplifting and hopeful. One can only feel that each child who found a place at this table was very fortunate indeed.

This is a book that belongs on our collective bookshelves; in our collective hearts and libraries. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

5 out of 5 stars Good - and Tough.......2004-03-03

As an adoption worker/counselor, I work hard at learning studying about foster care and the issues that face "my" kids and parents. I'd heard good things about this book, and thought I'd give it a try. I had to stop halfway through. I spend all day dealing with the horrible things of foster care - the terrible abuse, the ridiculous beauracracy, the burnt-out workers, and Kathy did a fantastic job of capturing this world. So realistic a job I could hardly call it after-hours reading.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn and know more about foster care.

I have known people with Alzheimer's but this book reveals to me the true nature, the depth of anguish, the devastating impact on a family. This book is a must read; it is as educational as it is compelling, poignant, and heartbreaking. Kudos to Dr Zalar for his incredible love and caring. This book has had such a profound affect on me, I pray it will become a movie so it's knowledge can spread nationwide.

Day Is Ending deals with the meeting and courtship of Dr. Zalar and his wife and follows their lives up to his wife's demise at the hands of Alzheimer's disease.
I found her letters that were her keepsakes over the years relating to their relationship and marriage to be inspirational.
This is a very thought-provoking book. I have read it several times and each time I get something new out of it.

"Day Is Ending" provides people with a touching and insightful journey treating and caring for a loved one through a difficult disease. The love between Dr. Zalar and Trude is inspiring and his dedication to her and her humane treatment during challenging times provides guidance for all loved ones who may one day face the same challenges involved in caring for a loved one.

              I've bought this book SEVERAL times and it keeps disappearing!...so be sure you HOLD onto your copy! I've used these activities for workshops, trainings, conferences, meetings...with all sorts of groups....adults and teens, leadership and prevention and alumni....etc. Great resource!

              5 out of 5 stars The best activity book.......2007-01-11

              I'm a peer facilitator, and this is definitely the best group activity book that I've used. I've always gotten the best response from the activities in this book...they seem to be the most fun for the kids to do, while still teaching important lessons. The book is also very easy to read and understand.

              My fellow Peer facilitators and I have about 25 different activity books to choose from, and this is always the one that we each try to grab every week before anyone else gets to it!

              5 out of 5 stars Great for church youth groups and leadership teams!.......2007-01-10

              I use this book all the time at church with my youth group and with the adult leaders. I have found great mixers in the front of the book to help people get to know one another and in the back of the book the chapter called Open Up has good activities to get people to share about themselves more easily. The middle is filled with tons of team-building activities and it is easy to find something that fits my needs, from a short table game challenge for our weekly dinner to more involved teamwork tasks for our weekend retreats. I also find useful activities for leadership meetings to build community among the adult leaders of the youth group as well. This is the most user friendly and comprehensive team-building book I have found!

              1 out of 5 stars waste of time and money.......2006-11-10

              Get Theater Games for the Classroom. It is a great community building system. It is not just about theater, read my review for that book, but again, DO NOT GET THIS BOOK!

              Book Description

The "Team Up" and "Open Up" games come with discussion prompts to help the leader facilitate a group discussion after each activity and increase the level of learning and insight. Each game in the book lists the objectives, materials needed, group size, and comes with an easy to read description. Many of the activities also include helpful variations to help tailor the game to fit any group no matter the size, age or skill level.

              Whatever group you work with will find "More Team-Building Activities for Every Group" to be a valuable resource that will help turn any group into a team!

              5 out of 5 stars This book DOES offer more!.......2003-02-17

              I use the book "Team-Building Activities for Every Group" all the time and found this book is full of just as many new and great activities, if not more! This book seems to have more active games and a wider variety of new games! I use this book for my church group, soccer team and at the ropes course where I am a facilitator.

              3 out of 5 stars More Pleasant Surprises.......2002-10-22

              The sequel to "Team Building Activities for Every Group" is another decent activity resource book by Alanna Jones. I was pleasantly surprised by the first and equally happy with this publication.

              Some of the similarities are unfortunate. Like the first book, there are few diagrams and illustrations. Also, several of the activities might have been better served with more detailed descriptions. Finally, those with access to other experiential activity resource books will discover several renamed, recycled selections. For example, what you may know as "bull ring" becomes "ball ring" in this publication.

              The good news? The book provides a number of decent, portable, no-props - low props, experiential activities. The majority of the 107 descriptions are clear and concise. Discussion prompts and activity variations are included whenever appropriate. Finally, when compared to other more costly publications or poor quality books, "More Team Building Activities" is a terrific value.

              If you have experience facilitating groups you will almost certainly discover (or rediscover) activities to enhance your programs. I anticipate this selection becoming a frequently referenced book in our program's resource library.
