5.0 out of 5 stars A Harvest of Memories all around, 9 Oct 2006
By Barbara E. Ellams (England UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Once in a while you come across a book that you know you will want to treasure. This is such a book. This is not a biography, it is a personal memoir. Whether you know DeForest Kelley from his work in Westerns or from his years serving aboard the Enterprise as Dr. McCoy (Bones) in Star Trek you will appreciate the author's narrative of how she first came to meet him and the friendship that grew thereafter. As the friendship grows between Kris and the Kelleys you will find yourself going from smiles to laughing out loud, especially when it comes to Kris's cats and the really special one that the Kelley's took a great interest in.

The last third of the book has a sadness over it since it tells of DeForest's life drawing to a close. It is quite graphic, but if you have lost someone you loved very much, you can identify with it. Kris was De's caregiver for those last months, not an easy job to take on for someone who is not close family. Kris is honest about the pain, the tiredness, the aching heart, the laughter and most of all the love, that is charted here. Kris tells us that DeForest called her his angel, and it would seem that for both he and his wife, Carolyn, she was just that.

5.0 out of 5 stars He was indeed a gentleman., 3 Nov 2006
By Carl S. Rylander (Yorkshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I met DeForest Kelley in 1986 and Kristine's book so nicely fills in more details than I gained in the hour I had with him.

Anyone who has a hunger for knowledge about Star Trek and its stars will
find themselves satiated by this book. It's full of nuggets of information about 'De' and the relationship he had with his wife, Carolyn.

In some ways a private man, in other ways not, as can be seen by the way he let Kristine into his life.

A worthwhile read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Soul Full of Love, 7 Aug 2006
The book had already been more accurately related to, but I want to add that it will touch the soul of everyone in one way or the other not only the fans of De. With this masterpiece Kris reflects all the love
that had been directed towards De and Carolyn throughout their whole life. They are those rare people
who were always staying true to themselves and their principles.

Somewhere I once read "Do not accept that you meet someone who will not be happier because of the
encounter with you." This fits the Kelley most perfectly because you just cannot help being happier after
having met them.

I like to express my most heartfelt thanks to Kris for this book and all she did for the Kelleys.
This was not only an act of love but the deed of a saint. Never to be made up for with all the money of the world and so precious without end. A wonderful legacy for the fans all over this world.

Kris I can only give you 5 stars for that, but if I had all the stars in the universe it still wouldn't be enough!
