Showing results for "The Canyon" in Relationships

In September 2002, Ken left his home and drove to the Grand Canyon to kill himself. The only life he'd ever known was little more than a shambles. He'd lost his wife and now he realized that he really couldn't live without her. His choices were to either continue facing it with self-destruction, drugs, and booze, or...a running start and a jump over the edge to end it all. Ken's story is filled with dysfunctional families, love found and lost, breakups, breakdowns, and remarkable hope. It's the true story of a man without love and too destroyed to think he deserves love.

Just some experiences and discussions we hope you enjoy.

Learning is about making connections, and we invite you to learn and connect with us. Connect Canyons is a show about what we teach in Canyons District, how we teach, and why. We get up close and personal with some of the people who make our schools great: students, teachers, principals, parents, and more. We meet national experts, too. And we spotlight the “connection makers” — personalities, programs and prospects — we find compelling and inspiring.

Adopted at birth, Marylee's parents told her she was a "chosen child". She tried her hardest to make them proud, but her parents' divorce sent her into the comforting arms of a handsome Catholic boy. She surrendered to passion. Unfortunately, it was 1961. Pregnant girls were sent away, and their babies given up for adoption. If you like truthful accounts laced with the passion of youth and the wisdom of age, listen to Marylee MacDonald's funny and poignant memoir about how we grow up, grow old, and learn to accept ourselves.
