An \"engrossing, hilarious, and tender\" chronicle of a wildly flawed family that comes together - in rehab, of all places - even as each member is on the verge of falling apart (Gretchen Rubin, #1 New York Times bestselling author ofThe Happiness Project).Winner of the 2019 NCIBA Golden Poppy Book Award for FictionIntroducing the Kesslers: Marty, a retired LA film producer whose self-worth has been eroded by age and a late-in-life passion for opioids; his daughter Janine, former child star suffering the aftereffects of a life in the public eye; and granddaughter Hailey, the \"less-than\" twin sister, whose inferiority complex takes a most unexpected turn. Nearly 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 and Bunny's boozing reaches crisis proportions, a perfect storm of dysfunction brings them all together at Directions, Malibu's most exclusive and absurd rehab center. But for all their failings, the members of this estranged - and strange - family love each other. Rich with warmth, humor, and deep insight, There's a Word for Thatis 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. | There's A Word For That by Sloane Tanen, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
