An endearing tale...
Ida is coming of age during a time where little black girls don't get the respect that one could throw in the wind. Being the baby of a large poor family in the 60's doesn't help her wavering self esteem. When her neglected soul receives some very much needed attention from the opposite sex, the fact that she is very young does not deter her eagerness to want to soak it up like a sponge.

This was such an endearing tale. My heart just went out to Ida as I saw her go through issue after issue and it seemed as though she would never catch a break. It reminded me of reading Donald Goines's book `Black Girl Lost'. The era was so different and you can always find stories of black empowerment and how we overcame during this time. But it's seldom to see a poor family just trying to get by and keep their family together in the south when everyone is running up north.

The only critique I have is that the formatting of the book made it a little difficult to follow the story at times. For example in the samechapter some characters would be talking in one paragraph and be in South Carolina and in the next paragraph a different character would be talking and in New York. All in all the book was very interesting and held my interest through to the end.

A Place for Ida is one book that you are sure to not be able to put down. The main character Ida is a young women coming of age searching in looking for love. Little does she know if was going to take a journey of heartaches and confusion before she could truly be happy. Patricia Richardson not only is a great story teller, the epic for which she created was so dynamically put together I was blown away by every detail. A true page turner indeed, that will surely keep you guessing until the very last page.

Looking for Love
A Place For Ida is the story of a teenage girl who wants to be loved, after being rejected by both her parents, she is raised by her grandmother in a racist South Carolina community during the 1960s. Ida's desire for love leads her down a difficult path of emotional highs and lows. She seeks love from her sisters who despise her, from a mother who has placed as many miles as she could between them and finally from an older man. She is a lonely girl who fills her time daydreaming about love. Billy Jasper was Ida's first love. He is the one who brings great joy and overwhelming sorrow to Ida's life. This book addresses the issue of how important it is for young girls to have a male figure in their lives.

Praise for Ida
This story details the trials and times of young Ida Jenkins. Set in south Carolina during the 1960's, "A Place for Ida" makes vivid the segregation of blacks and whites and the trauma of racism while telling a poignant strory of a black girl looking for acceptance and love. Ida goes through so much in this book, much more than many women do in their entire lives: one could easily be brought to tears reading of her plights.

The cover is simple yet stunning and the title tells of the story in itself. "Ida" is proof, first time author Patricia Richardson has a flair for the art of writing. The editing or lack thereof was the only drawback to this strongly written story. Exellent read.

Dr. Richardson's success story in the treatment of cancer patients
Billions of dollars have been invested in cancer research, and so far no general cure for cancer has been approved by the FDA.

Radiotherapy is not effective, since radiation *causes* cancer. The failure rate of this therapy is therefore very high.

Chemotherapy uses strong poisons that are given to the patient in the hope that the cancer cells in his body will die before he does.Unfortunately, those poisons can not distinguish between cancer and non-cancer cells.Instead they differentiate between cells that are fast growing and those that are slow.Dr. Richardson explains what happens to the body of the patient : "Cells that actively are dividing are the targets.Consequently they kill not only cancer cells that are dividing but also a multitude of normal cells all over the body that happen to be caught in the act of dividing. (...) ... the resulting pain and illness often is a torment worse than the disease itself.The toxins catch the blood cells in the process of dividing and cause blood poisoning.The gastro intestinal system is thrown into convulsion causing violent nausea, diarrhea, loss of appetite, cramps, and progressive weakness.Hair cells are fast growing, so usually the hair falls out during treatment.Reproductive organs are affected, causing impotency or sterility.The brain becomes fatigued and wracked with pain.Eyesight and hearing are impaired.In fact, every conceivable function is disrupted with such agony for the patient that many elect to die of the cancer rather than continue treatment".

Notwithstanding this poor result, the market of chemotherapy in the US alone is worth 1 billion dollars per year.Big Pharma and the FDA concentrate on the tumor.They don't care on the life expectancy nor the quality of life of the patient.Pain isn't relevant to them either.

The effectiveness of Laetrile is clear.Please read World Without Cancer: The Story of Vitamin B17 (New edition revised and updated) to check this out.This book is the perfect complement, since Dr. John Richardson, while still able to operate his clinic, helped more than 4.000 people.In this book he tells the stories of 62 people with different types of cancers that he cured.This book was written in 1977.In 2005, Patricia Griffin tried to contact those patients in order to be able to determine the real life extension of those people.I will highlight some of those cases, one in each category of cancer.

CANCER OF THE LUNG

Man : patient "M136TB"
Age when cancer was detected : 17
Year of diagnose : 1975
Statistical life expectancy : less than a year
Life extension : alive and well after 30 years in 2005

After having undergone chemotherapy for five months, without success - since another spot showed up - the parents decided to decide into laetrile as an alternative.The patient describes his reaction to the course of the therapy in these words : "I was treated like I was just as normal as anyone walking on this earth - what I mean is, they didn't treat me like I was deathly sick, but they treated me like I was going to get well. "

CANCER OF THE PROSTRATE

Name : John Peterson
Age when cancer was detected : 61
Year of diagnose : 1973
Statistical life expectancy : a year
Life extension : 13 years, died at age 74 in 1986

The patient related in a letter what the next few weeks after diagnose were like for him : "I was in constant, unrelenting pain, my body jerked in spasms, there was some rectal bleeding, and I became so weak I could hardly rise from a chair and walk.At this time, I learned from friends where I could get Laetrile treatment.My wife drove the car, the one and one-half-hour drive to the San Francisco Bay area where I received my first injection of Laetrile, October 25, 1973.I was too weak to drive, in fact I passed out in the car both going and returning from these first daily treatments.Improvement was apparent within the days and in about thirty days I was driving the car myself.I was again looking forward to each new sunrise with anticipation of some pleasure in being alive."

CANCER OF THE BREAST

Woman : patient "M110MX"
Age when cancer was detected : 50
Year of diagnose : 1974
Life extension : 19 years; died at age 70 in 1993

CANCER OF THE COLON

Statistical life expectancy : a year
Life extension : 22 years; died at age 83 in 1997

CANCER OF THE THYROID

Woman : patient "A156JC"
Year of diagnose : 1973
Metabolic treatment started : 1974
Life extension : alive and well after 31 years in 2005

The patient first drank an "atomic cocktail", which produced a slow recovery, but after six months her health went downhill : "I lost about thirty pounds.I had dark yellow skin and dark around my eyes.I was constantly tired.I slept a great deal and felt sleepy the rest of the time.It was around this time I first heard of Laetrile.I felt the treatments I had been receiving were ineffective, and so I chose to come to the Richardson Clinic.Dr. Richardson did not make any promises to me, but within ten days of beginning nutritional therapy and Laetrile, I noticed considerable improvement.My eyes and skin returned to their normal color.I stopped losing weight, the terrible tired feeling left, as did the pain...Friends and relatives who have watched my progress are amazed at how well I look...We've had a number of cases of cancer in my family on both sides.I am the only one who has taken Laetrile and I am the only one who has survived. "

CANCER OF THE CERVIX

Name : Thelma Mosca
Age when cancer was detected : 55
Year of diagnose : 1975
Statistical life expectancy : 3 months
Life extension : alive 2 years later; not traceable in 2005

After discovery of cancer in the Kaiser Hospital in Oakland, California, a surgery was planned.Mrs. Mosca decided to cancel it, since her mother died after surgery and radiation, and told her she would never do it again.After watching the Tom Snyder TV show she learned to know about Laetrile, and contacted the Richardson Clinic.Only fourteen days after starting metabolic therapy, pathology report from a Pap smear revealed : "Class 1 negative.No atypical cells present [cancer no longer present]".

In a letter to the Richardson clinic, Mrs. Mosca wrote : "When my doctor [the one who recommended surgery] asked me if I knew how painful death from cancer would be, I said yes I knew.My mother had breast cancer.She was butchered and burned and died a slow and painful death.We had to keep her arm in ice packs twenty-four hours a day because of cobalt burns.My mother was not helped or saved.That is precisely why I rejected surgery and radiation. "

LEUKEMIA

Naam : Ben Reynolds
Age when cancer was detected : 63
Year of diagnose : 1973
Life extension : 6 years; died at age 69 in 1979

Mr. Reynolds started with chemotherapy but switched rapidly to.This is why he chose Laetrile : "I took chemotherapy for three days only.I had started metabolic therapy on July 23 and 24 [1973] and then submitted [for the last time] to the chemotherapy on July 27, 1973.Mixed up ?Yes.But, then what does one do for cancer treatment when one knows nothing to start with ?It took only a few minutes reading the Physician's Desk Reference on the third day I was on chemotherapy to know what I wanted to do and what I did not want to do.This is what the book had to say about my drugs : "Ovocen (Vincristine): Mode of action is unknown but under investigation...Extreme care must be used in calculating the dose...Overdosing may have a serious or fatal outcome."Cytoxan : "Its mechanism of action is not known".Nor did I want Prednisone, about which I read more of the same.I was not ready to die, not from cancer and certainly not from the poisons they were going to give me, so I wouldn't die from cancer. "

CANCER OF THE BONE

Name : Shane Horton
Age when cancer was detected : 6
Year of diagnose : 1973
Life expectancy : 6 to 9 months
Life extension : alive and well after 32 years in 2005

This little boy was six years old when his symptoms began.He was so weak he couldn't stand on his own legs and had to see Disneyland from a wheelchair...Osteosarcoma of the right humerus [right upper arm bone] and the third lumbar vertebra (spine) was discovered, when the kid couldn't lift his right arm.The hospital summary of the Mercy Hospital, Sacramento, California, in November 9, 1973, stated : "It would appear that this unfortunate child has already distant metastases from his primary tumor.In all likelihood he will develop evidence of metastases elsewhere in the very near future...pulmonary metastases are so common with metastatic osteogenic sarcoma.Unfortunately the patient is not a candidate for curative therapy and the primary question is how best to palliate this child to maintain him in a functional pain-free state for as long as possible. "

Instead of palliative treatment the parents of Shane chose Laetrile.

CONCLUSION

You are the *only* person on earth *really* concerned in *your own health*.

Question the authority of your doctor - the man in the white coat.He is not that wise as he wishes to project himself.He was educated at university always to prescribe patented drugs, and he participates, the whole length of his professional career, in conferences and congresses in exotic resorts all over the world, paid by Big Pharma, who want him to continue to push their newest patented drugs.So don't expect him to agree with (cheap) vitamin B17-treatment.

Ultimately, it's your choice.

AAMBC Book Reviews
A Time for Jonathan is the sequel to A Place for Ida that will surely keep you guessing. Author Patricia Richardson has the eye for details when it comes to creating a life within pages. Ida and Billy return in the sequel married with a son, but soon things go from great to worse and then the unthinkable. Their son Jonathan is without a doubt a trouble child, is has demonic tendencies. Ida believes he is cursed with demons from the family's past and tries to heal him with love from a mother. She soon fails pushing Billy and all of friends and Family away. With Jonathan getting worse Billy tries to take over with only Ida giving up on their son and doing the unthinkable. This story is heart whelming and I feel the emotions these characters were living. If you have read a place for Ida this sequel will keep you intrigued only to come to a screeching halt when the novel comes to a surprising end.

Sure treat!
"A Time For Jonathan" written by Patricia Richardson is the sequel to the novel "A Place for Ida". This is a story that is totally gripping and undeniably enthralling. The theme revolves around Ida and her young son, Jonathan and the thought-provoking problems that escalate within the family.

Jonathan , a beautiful little boy is born to Billy and Ida.As a young married couple, they definitely have tremendous love for each other and are so proud of their newborn son. However, once Jonathan is enrolled in a child care facility, his teachers relate to his parents some very serious problems and difficulties. When these tragic occurrences take place, life for the Jasper Family rapidly declines - especially when Ida's mental capacity deteriorates and Billy has quite a few sexual rendezvous' and starts drinking heavily.

This novel will definitely capture the readers' attention, as well as entertain from start to finish.

Good movie except for.....
I enjoyed the movie when it was first on TV. So I was excited to be able to have the DVD. However while the package states that there are English subtitles avail, this is not the case.The subtitles listed are Spanish, French and none.I am disappointed with the product for this reason only.

Pretty good lower budget film.
I thought the Jenson Project was fairly entertaining.It had some pretty good special effects, action, and drama.
Sure it's not a big budget film, but it doesn't have to be in order to be interesting.
