A husband's caregiving experiences for his wife. His approach to care giving was unconventional. He chose to continue daily life as normal and sought logical interpretations for her irrational behaviour, entering her clouded Dementia world. Her condition declined rapidly whilst in hospital, unaided, she walked into hospital and returned wheelchair bound. In spite of his best efforts to provide her with twenty-four care, he soon conceded it was impossible to care and maintain their large home and grounds. She was doubly incontinent and rigidity had set in, thus he felt compelled to place her in a Nursing Home. In the months that followed her condition deteriorated to a degree that she became bedridden and required palliative care. His daily eight hour harrowing visits, became unbearable and against all advice he decided to take her home to die. For nine long painful months her survival prospects were rated very poor. Constantly he was warned she was dying, but he insisted on care giving in his own way.

"Frank 'O' Blue Eyes' Sinatra in the fifties and sixties is the explosive, explicitly profane story of one of the most venerated entertainers of our time. The year 1950 is a time of extreme emotional turmoil for the beleaguered Sinatra. His plunge from the epitome of popularity is highly attributed to his clandestine affair with beautiful actress Ava Gardner. As a result, his TV show, personal appearances, recording sessions and movie audience attendance suffer greatly. His highly publicized separation and eventual divorce from wife Nancy leads to a tempestuous two-year marriage to the ravishing Ava. While Frank is unable to solve Ava's quintessence, he can never get over his profound, unyielding love for her. She remains the girl of his dreams. Following his motion picture Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in the film "From Here To Eternity" in 1954, his career resurges to new and even greater heights. His ill-fated marriage to rising star Mia Farrow who is 30 years younger and is called a "hippie" and "flower girl" results in a roller coaster ride ending after only two tumultuous years. Join with Frank as he once again journeys to the top of the entertainment world, accompanied by the fabled "Rat Pack," consisting of Dean martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford, Joey Bishop, Shirley MacLaine and several others. Frank is highly responsible for the election of President John Kennedy. This story is told in first person by Marty tanner - one of FrankSinatra's close associates.

Born in 1960 with significant disabilities, he describes his early experiences living in three different institutions for the mentally retarded and how he had to become his own advocate if he was going to survive.

He had to speak up to help himself and other individuals with developmental disabilities to learn about their rights, and how to prevent themselves from becoming trapped forever within complicated state bureaucracies. After moving out of the last institution into various types of supported living settings, Michael describes how he found new friendships, went to school, got a "real" job, and began to aspire to having full control of his own life.
