DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Mom, I'm gay." With three little words, gay children can change their parents' lives forever. Yet at the same times it's a chance for those parents to realize nothing, really, has changed at all; same kid, same life, same bond of enduring love. Twenty years ago, during a walk on a Mississippi beach, Ellen DeGeneres spoke those simple, powerful words to her mother. That emotional moment eventually brought mother and daughter closer than ever, but not without a struggle. Coming from a republican family with conservative values, Betty needed time and education to understand her daughter's homosexuality -- but her ultimate acceptance would set the stage for a far more public coming out, one that would change history. In Love, Ellen, Betty DeGeneres tells her story; the complicated path to acceptance and the deepening of her friendship with her daughter; the media's scrutiny of their family life; the painful and often inspiring stories she's heard on the road as the first non-gay spokesperson for the Human Rights Campaigns National Coming Out Project. With a mother's love, clear minded common sense, and hard won wisdom, Betty DeGeneres offers up her own very personal memoir to help parents understand their gay children, and to help sons and daughters who have been rejected by their families feel less alone.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen an aging mother dies of cancer, her two daughters struggle to put together the pieces of their lives and start anew. But in FAMILY SECRETS, things are not always as they should be: beautiful Ellen marries a good-for-nothing drifter; the shy, quiet Elizabeth finds true love in the strangest place; and no one notices the innocent girl caught in the middle of everything, who has been raped and assaulted by her stepfather since her twelfth birthday. Ellen and Elizabeth never saw eye to eye, but when their mother Rose dies the relationship becomes even more hostile. As Elizabeth slowly finds true love and happiness, Ellen's life begins to unravel. Ellen's husband, Jack, can't keep a job; her part-time position at the hospital can't support their growing family; and her oldest daughter, Hannah, is no longer the respectful and innocent child she once was. What no one knows is that on Hannah's twelfth birthday, Jack began to molest and rape his stepdaughter. While Ellen takes on double night shifts and Aunt Elizabeth tries to understand why her niece has become so withdrawn, Hannah silently suffers the late-night visits and heavy hand of her stepfather. How will Ellen react when her 'problem teen' is caught shoplifting, brings boys back to the apartment, and gets expelled from school? Everything changes when, after four years, Hannah discovers that she's pregnant and the secret comes out. When her mother stops speaking to her and the family falls apart once again, only one question remains to be answered: Is the baby Jack's?
