While playing in the backyard, the children notice a mysterious staircase suddenly appear. Climbing it, they discover rooms filled with treasures!

She earned a master's degree in sociology and one in counseling psychology. She spent most of her life as an elementary school counselor and is recently retired. This is her first book. According to Plato, "The beginning is the most important part…" and Morrison believes that investing time with young children can have an impact on the direction of their lives. Raising her own children, Morrison would frequently make up stories that would appeal to them. As a counselor she often tried to make her stories meaningful and moralistic, but occasionally would tell them a story that was just pure fun. One of them was "The Magic Staircase," which was told repeatedly through the years until she decided to write it down to share with other children. Morrison lives in Tupelo, Mississippi, with her husband, Morris, near her son, Lee, and is a frequent visitor to Greenville, South Carolina, where her daughter, Jenny, son-in-law, Kelly, and three grandchildren, Ella, David, and the latest addition, Andrew, have recently moved.

Marilyn's life has been a series of challenging experiences, not unlike most of the human population. Early on, she felt disconnected and alone even in her own family. Her artful heart never gave up. She studied many religions, philosophies, and the ideas of the great thinkers. By the 1990s she was formulating her life as only the artistic heart can do. From sculpture to charcoal drawing, to poetry, singing, and journaling, she found a place inside that she could connect to and a feeling of freedom to be herself. The inspiration comes from her children, her ideals, and her profound interest in humanity, and the course of events that continue to alter and affect her direction. Persistence has become her motto, gratitude her daily practice, and a pointed focus on the minutiae of energy that allows change into each day.
