Marilyn hopes to write another book in the future. It will be a book that will combine important spiritual truths she has heard from Christian preachers.

She was once offered a scholarship at the Julliard School of Music in New York, to play piano, but her mother turned it down due to her youth. Marilyn was offered a singing audition in Nashville, but turned it down due to possible loss of her first love, The Lord.

But the most important thing in Marilyn’s life is living a Christian life, and being with her family and friends.
