Sattilaro picked up two young hitchhikers - Sean McLean and Bill Bochbracher - who were on their way to North Carolina. 9, the deeply depressed physician was driving down the New Jersey Turnpike to Philly when a miracle occurred.Īlthough it was completely out of character for him, Dr. After burying his dad in Highland Park, NJ, on Aug. Two months later, tragedy struck again as Dr. Sattilaro was told he had about one year to live. Three operations, huge quantities of oral drugs and large doses of estrogen, a female hormone, failed to arrest the cancerous spread. In June of 1978, he told me, X-rays revealed that he had cancerous growths in his skull, right shoulder, prostate, backbone, sternum and genitals. Sattilaro in February of 1981 when he was 48 and the president of Methodist Hospital (where I was born) in South Philadelphia. Anthony Sattilaro is definitely at or near the very top. Since I have been a full-time reporter/editor for almost 50 years, once in a while someone will ask me who is the most compelling or unforgettable person I have ever interviewed and written about. Sattilaro’s book, “Living Well Naturally,” one of two he wrote about overcoming cancer, was a best-seller in the 1980s. ![]() ![]() Rivers' writing is characterized by its strong and distinctive voice, clear and engaging prose, and sense of authenticity and verisimilitude.

So much of Loveless entails Georgia’s fumbling attempts to force herself to feel sexual attraction, to finally have that kiss, and to figure herself out. She is low-key worried something is “wrong” with herself. Indeed, as the title and most of the first part of this book emphasize, Georgia is obsessed with the fact that she has never had sex, never had a boyfriend (or girlfriend), never even been kissed. While there she befriends her roommate, Rooney, who is the extroverted, sexually-active foil to Georgia’s introverted, sexually-inexperienced self. Georgia Warr is going off to uni, fortunate to be accompanied by her two best friends Pip and Jason. The second half is where I talk plot details. On the other hand, I’m not sure that, overall, Loveless is a very good book.Ī note about the spoilers: the first half of this review, where I discuss the aro/ace representation, is spoiler-free. Here I find myself very ambivalent: on one hand, I really enjoyed the aro/ace representation here. My experience with Alice Oseman has been varied: I adored Radio Silence but didn’t much care for Solitaire. ![]() ![]() As someone who is herself aromantic and asexual, I was very much anticipating Loveless, to the point where I pre-ordered it. ![]() ![]() Hero or not-now joined by a disgraced ex-knight, a reluctant fairy godmother, an enigmatic gravewitch and her fowl familiar-Marra might finally have the courage to save her sister, and topple a throne.

Through a very touching narrative, Meredith leads readers through the ‘honey bus,’ and we experience, through her young eyes, the miraculous abilities of bees. Part ‘bee-keeping 101,’ THE HONEY BUS is about the wisdom and magic of nature, how sometimes other things can save us when we’re drowning, and the tender relationship of a girl and her grandfather. Still, she had something–and someone–her rugged and caring grandfather, Frank, a beekeeper. Meredith had to share a bed with her highly dysfunctional and despondent mother. ![]() But things weren’t all that great for Meredith and her younger brother, Matthew. Living with their maternal grandparents in a small home was tense. The setting–Big Sur, Carmel, and the Palo Colorado Canyon–oh! I could taste the sea salt, smell the wild sage and eucalyptus. These sensory details were like a warm, languid summer’s day. I was absolutely entranced by THE HONEY BUS (HarperCollins/Park Row April 2), which is a memoir at heart, but so much more.Meredith May is 5 when her parents divorce and she, her mother, and younger brother leave Rhode Island for California where May’s grandparents live. A glowing, powerful memoir about one girl’s courage to overcome her mother’s dysfunction under the tutelage of her bee keeper grandfather. ![]() |
