WE RE FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE American Heart tip Association W hen Martin Scot Kosins' dog died, he felt a tremen- dous loss. "As a pet owner, I realized that there were no books that dealt with the death of animals, dogs getting old and when to end a pet's life, " he said. To help others cope with the grieving process he ex- perienced, Mr. Kosins wrote Maya's First Rose (Open Sky Books, $15.95) with illustra- tions by Howard Fridson of Huntington Woods and a foreword by Burl Ives. The book took three years to complete and became a labor of love and a therapeutic ex- ercise for Mr. Kosins, who will donate all the royalties to charities for animals and children. "Maya is a heart warming tale of truth told with deli- cacy and finesse," wrote Mr. Ives in the foreword. Maya's First Rose is the first book for Mr. Kosins, who is a musician, a com- poser and owner of Open Sky Records. Open Sky Books in Royal Oak is a branch of his record company. He had offers to publish the book with national companies, but as Mr. Kosins explained, "each wanted to make one change." In order to have complete control over this special project, he chose to publish it himself. He contacted Howard Fridson, of Fridson Studios, for the illustrations and realized he was a Hun- tington Woods neighbor. "This is one project that is put out in its pure form," Mr. Kosins said. Mr. Kosins dedicated the book to his dog, Maya, which is an Indian word meaning dream or unreal, and to Dr. Michael Pintar, the veter- inarian at Orchard Lake Animal Hospital. Dr. Pintar made house calls for Maya, who was his oldest living pa- tient. "He was very devoted and did not charge for the house calls," Mr. Kosins said. The book is for adults and advanced young readers and is available at major book- stores. GUYS AND DOLLS Andover High School recent- ly presented Guys and Dolls.
