In 1988 Ms. Flory copy-edited “Made in Italy” and in 2003 was the editor of “More Cooking with Pecans.” Utilizing her love for movies and professional experience in social work, education and journalism, Marjorie began to co-author, along with Mary Anne Horenstein, Vicki Gershwin and Brenda Rigby, “Reel Life/Real Life”, which serves as a video guide that evaluates movies dealing with important life topics and situations. The four authors have generated more than 700 reviews of feature films, classics of early cinema, and the newest video releases.
