A hilarious and moving chronicle of one wildly dysfunctional family that comes together--in rehab, of all places--even as each member is on the verge of falling apart. Meet the Kesslers: the patriarch Marty, retired film producer, "Sisyphus of marriage," late-in-life discoverer of illegal drugs; his daughter Justine, former child star and current not-so-functioning adult; and granddaughter Hailey, whose dreams of hitting the big time won't take no for an answer. Six thousand miles away in London, celebrated author Bunny Small, Marty's long-forgotten first wife, has her own problems: a "preposterous" case of writer's block, a monstrous drinking habit, and a son who has fled halfway around the world to escape her. When Marty's pill-popping gets out of hand, Bunny's drinking reaches crisis proportion, and Justine realizes New York is as done with her as she is with it, they all meet in the hallowed halls of Directions, Malibu's most exclusive rehab center. But for all their failings, these two estranged--and strange--families love each other, and we can't help but love them. With warmth, humor, and deep insight, THERE'S A WORD FOR THAT is a comic ode to surviving the people closest to us, navigating the perils of success, and taking one last look in the rearview mirror before mapping out the road ahead. , Kindle Edition, Label: Little, Brown and Company, Little, Brown and Company, Product group: eBooks, Published: 2019-04-02, Release date: 2019-04-02, Studio: Little, Brown and Company.

Meet the Kesslers: Marty, retired LA producer, aging doper, "Sisyphus of marriage," staring down the barrel of his possibly fourth wife-to-be; his daughter Justine, former child star and aspiring cartoonist who can't draw; and granddaughter Hailey, the "less than" twin, with a mouth as foul as her acerbic observations on teenage life are astute. Also meet world-renowned author Bunny Small, Marty's secret first wife, whose astronomical print runs are only slightly smaller than her ego; and her son Henry Holter, for whom her dashing protagonist is named and who moved half way around the world to escape her. When Marty's pill popping gets out of hand, Bunny's drinking reaches crisis proportion, and Justine ends up splashed all over TMZ, they all meet in the hallowed halls of Directions, Malibu's most exclusive rehab center. But for all their failings, Sloane Tanen's characters love each other, and she loves them. With the warm, funny heart of Modern Family and the domestic absurdity of a Maria Semple novel, THERE'S A WORD FOR THAT is a comic ode to family life, to the perils of early fame, and the inevitable evanescence of beauty. This is Hollywood from the inside out as only Tanen can render. , Hardcover, Label: Little, Brown and Company, Little, Brown and Company, Product group: Book, Published: 2019-04-02, Release date: 2019-04-02, Studio: Little, Brown and Company.
