Coping with Death and Grief by Marge Heegaard. One of his most famous stunts was to be handcuffed, tied with ropes and chains, put in a padlocked trunk and dropped into deep water. Because of his reputation as an escape artist, Houdini believed he could escape from the afterworld. He left instructions with friends that after his death they were to gather in a certain place every Halloween and wait for a phone call from him. Here are quotes from this famous woman.
People are like stained-glass windows.
They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within. The Great Houdini by Monica Kulling.
