Pressestimmen

“REMEMBER THE SWEET THINGS is...a beautiful meditation on love and life, and an affirmation of the power of gratitude. Told in a clear and honest voice, its indelible message—that it’s all the sweet little things that add up to an extraordinary love—is a true gift to the reader.” (-- New York Times bestselling author Susan Wiggs )

“Ellen Greene tells us how “happily ever after” works, and she does it with such grace and candor that even the unluckiest and most cynical will take note....” (Marilyn Johnson, author of The Dead Beat )

“REMEMBER THE SWEET THINGS isn’t merely a love story. It is a manual for healthy living, told with searing honesty and profound tenderness, and poignance that touches you on virtually every page....I didn’t just savor REMEMBER THE SWEET THINGS. I am a better person for having read it.” (Wayne Coffey, author of the New York Times bestseller, The Boys of Winter )

“What could have been a saccharine story filled with clichés is instead a gentle and genuine reminder that the smallest things in life are the most precious. This is a heartfelt tribute to what really matters.” (Publishers Weekly )

Kurzbeschreibung

For twenty years, Ellen Greene kept a running list of the thoughtful, funny, touching things that her husband, Marsh, said and did. She wrote them down secretly, then shared them with him every Valentine’s Day when he would find pages from her “Sweet Things List” tucked inside a card.

A lovely and poignant tribute to a man and a marriage, written with grace and candor, Remember the Sweet Things captures the kindness, sharing, humor, and affection that defined the Greenes’ union and encourages us to acknowledge the goodness in our own lives and relationships.

A wonderful piece of writing 5. Februar 2009
Von Adele Teichman - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Ellen's book touched me in so many ways. Being married for 50 years, I wish I had started a list. This book is what marriage should be about. Growing and loving, sharing, etc. I have already shared it with my near and dear. Thank you Ellen.

I loved it! 4. Februar 2009
Von Michael Herzoff - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Ellen Greene's book is charming and touching and flows smoothly. It is a comfortable read, like having a real conversation with someone that you know and like. And what you glean from it in the end is how to have a truly wonderful marriage the second time around. There is a lot to be learned here about the proper care and feeding of a loving relationship.

The simple touch of a hand can change a life ... 1. Februar 2009
Von D. Fowler - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
It was the simple touch of a hand that touched her heart and her life. Ellen hadn't had it easy in the love department. She married young, a marriage that produced two lovely children, but little else save heartbreak. Another long-term relationship after a disastrous marriage only served to fuel her lack of self-esteem. In her heart felt memoir she remembers how Marsh's affectionate gesture changed her life forever.

Ellen was a Midwestern gal, from simple unpretentious stock, while Marsh actually had a "pedigree." Her descent from bootleggers made no difference to Marshall Whitney Greene. The courtship he began would last a lifetime. "I'm a simple guy," he said, "with not too many moving parts. I just want a shot at happiness, and that means being with you."

Relationships are made. They do not come for the asking, nor as some folks think, emanate from 'matches made in heaven.' It takes work. Ellen's patience sometimes ran thin, but she decided to dwell on the positive aspects of the relationship and began to write down the endearing things Marsh did and present them to him with affection. Long after the negative experiences disappeared from memory, Ellen Greene's legacy to Marsh took the form of a book in an extremely touching narrative, Remember the Sweet Things: One List, Two Lives, and Twenty Years of Marriage. A blended family, a stint in China, an aborted sail around the world, the throes of Parkinson's Disease . . . it was their life and love.

This book is a surreptitious manual for a successful and loving marriage. Ellen Greene loved her husband Marsh deeply, yet was forthright with the reader admitting her own fallibility. This is a real life love story that would surpass any Jude Deveraux novel. Very highly recommended book!
