1) 56 THOUGHTS - The sayings and psalms of Bob Marley.

Bob Marley began writing lyrics in the early 1960’s and he continued to produce them until his passing in 1981. Critics have called these songs the best of the millennium. Yet, few readers have ever read Marley’s magic on the page. For the first time, his eldest daughter Cedella has made a selection of her father’s most prophetic and personal poems, insights, and conversational messages. Here are meditations to soothe the soul and thoughts to penetrate the mind. Here too is an encapsulated life of Bob Marley, the man. In his spare writings we can see the ebb and flow of his journey as an artist and a humanitarian. Packaged for purse and pocket, this collection is sure to find a place in everyone’s heart.

2) THE BOY FROM NINE MILE

The Boy from Nine Miles is Cedella's special tribute to the legacy of her father. While much has been written about Bob Marley's adult life, little has been shared about his childhood and the events that inspired both his love of music and compassion for humanity.

The Boy from Nine Miles draws upon stories handed down within the Marley family. Cedella's
work on this book began in response to her own children's questions about their grandfather. Now
