Reid Henson se narodil v roce 1939 v Gainesville na Floridě. Oženil se, zplodil dva syny, z nichž je den bohužel záhy zemřel a druhý se dal v pubertě na drogy, což vneslo do jeho mysli nesmírná traumata. Henson se později rozvedl a potom v rychlém sledu střídal partnerky, než si konečně našel trvalejší přítelkyni Jane. Stále si ovšem uvědomoval, že už od mládí žije v nepřetržitém a silném stresu, takže jeho život je vlastně nesmírně vysilující dřinou a jen velice zřídka mu ukazuje příjemnější stránky. „Život je boj,“ říkal, „ a v něm vyhrávají jenom ti nejsilnější a nejodolnější...“ Největší starosti prožíval se synem Robem, který koncem sedmdesátých let přicházel do svých „telecích“ let. Nejčastěji se užíral hrozným strachem, když se Rob vytrácel na delší dobu z domu a nepodával o sobě vůbec žádné zprávy, což je příznačné pro každého narkomana. V těch chvílích si synka představoval, jak někde leží nemocný, zraněný či dokonce mrtvý, a tyto představy ho strašlivě drásaly. Rob málokdy dodržel slovo dané otci, i když toho později litoval.

Based on the Simontons' experience with hundreds of patients at their world-famous Cancer Counseling and Research Center, Getting Well Again introduces the scientific basis for the "will to live." In this revolutionary book the Simontons profile the typical "cancer personality": how an individual's reactions to stress and other emotional factors can contribute to the onset and progress of cancer -- and how positive expectations, self-awareness, and self-care can contribute to survival. This book offers the same self-help techniques the Simonton's patients have used to successfully to reinforce usual medical treatment -- techniques for learning positive attitudes, relaxation, visualization, goal setting, managing pain, exercise, and building an emotional support system.

Things in the U.S. are not what they used to be. The man who now holds the keys to the Oval Office was born and raised on the rough streets of St. Louis, where he discovered how to silence his enemies by wielding knowledge and power. Now, his enemies come in the form of a do-nothing Congress, an untrustworthy administration, and a wife with many issues. The harm they intend to do to Mr. President will be no more than what he may inflict upon himself. His brash words, no-nonsense attitude, and sexiest-man-alive status are going to heat up things on Capitol Hill.
