I have found a very old book, about 50 years old. Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, published by Penguin books in 1955 and gifted to someone by Rosemary in 1956. It has hand written note on the first page that says, "With love and best wishes from Rosemary, Feb 12th, 1956". I want to either find who Rosemary is or the person who it was gifted to, or a place where I can sell it for some hard cash. Any suggestions or help?

This is the short version. My brother met a woman 9 years ago. They got married soon after. When it was time to throw the bridal shower I wanted to make the party for my future sister-in-law. A cousin of mine wanted to have the party and when my mother confronted the bride to be and ask if it would be OK for me to have the party instead of my cousin. Well it was like Cybil spawned. She cursed my mom out in every way imaginable, even threw the "F" bomb at her a few times. Well this did not sit well with me, so I had to tell the bridzilla what time it was, and no one speaks to my mom that way. Well for the love I have for my brother I took my kids to Vegas for their wedding, and my mom tried everything to welcome her into our family. Baught her pearls, gave them a reception in our home town for family and friends who could not make Vegas, sent her gifts. The best was one Thanksgiving my mother sent her a beautiful platter for the turkey. She had my brother call my mother and tell her "how insulted his wife was to get this platter when she knew she already has one from her grandmother". How hurtful and mean is that. Anyway my family and my mom have lived a few states away from them for the past 6 years, but now we have relocated due to work and now we are 1 mile apart. We have lived in this town for several months and we got to see my brother and his daughter the first couple weeks while his bride was away. We have never been invited to their house, and after one month of us living here we had them over for dinner. My daughter and theirs go to the same school, and it is sad that that is the only time we see eachother. I don't want to disconnect from my only sibling and neice, but how do I get the point across with out him getting mad. His wife (I think) must be a very good manipulater because he always says it is our imagination. She doesn't have a problem with us. Something that just recently happened....My mom had surgery, and she NEVER called to say how are you, do you need anything? How inconsiderate can people be with family and how do we make this better. Am I dreaming, or is there hope.......PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

My grandmother was like a best friend to me.(she's 60)She started smoking crack and she stopped calling me. She stopped caring about me. So I gave up. I was over her.
She called my house sober.
We drove to her house (eight hours). When we went to see her; she wasn't there. She called the next day and said she's show up at the house we were staying in. She came in for 10 seconds,began to cry and scream about how her parents abandoned her,turned around,told us she had to go "pick something up"( we knew what she meant...crack),and left. I asked her not to go.She ran out of the house and screeched out of the drive way.
I never got to say goodbye,give her the gift I bought her,or that I loved her. She never told me she loved me after she pleaded for another chance. I loved her so much! My entire childhood was based around her..and she just crushed it my heart.
I know it could be worse...but I just can't seem to let her go.(even though she let me go)
What should I do?
We tried to get her into rehab,she took our money and our help and did nothing.
She just doesn't care about me anymore. I just can't seem to get over that,or the fact that I can't hold her and tell her love her anymore.
She's basically committing suicide and I don't know how to get over it....

My mother in law kicked my then boyfriend out of her house because he was to serious about me. (we weren't that serious mostly lust) He was 20 at the time.
He lived in his car when he ran out of money on motel rooms.
During that time one of my 3 roommates moved out.
He moved in. We fell in love and got married within a year.
She moved out of state the first year we were together. I met her during a visit she seemed nice and acted like she wanted to get to know me.Every visit or phone call or email was the same I cant wait to move back home an be a part of the family.
Since she moved back she is busy with something or another.She cried all the time ''I Just want my son to come home''.(She was a party goer all through his years as a kid. She was never home.He became a teen alcoholic. She says she would love to do it all over again to do it right. I told her please dont blame your self and she could make it up by being the best grandmother. (She has never held,kissed or gave our son a gift for any holiday. We been together going on 5 years. She has said recently as 6 months ago''I JUST WANT MY SON BACK!
She has nothing to do with our son but will make a big to do for her son.
Yesterday was our sons 3rd birthday and we heard nothing from her again. She never asks about him. We live in the same city. My husband wont say a thing to her about being a absent grandmother. I really think she needs to hear it from him.(He feels so sorry for her) I have asked her in many emails to be a part our sons life. She straight ignores my plea's.
After missing another bitrhday I want to give her a piece of my mind. I know it wont help but I feel so bad for my son missing out on he LOVE he deserves.What would you do? I seriously want to put a ad in the paper Grandmother wanted for sweet funny loving kid.

I am equally mad at my husband for ignoring the whole situation.
