There's a Word for That

More about the book

Introducing the Kesslers: Marty, a retired LA film producer whose self-worth has been eroded by a passion for opioids; his daughter Janine, former child star suffering the aftereffects of a life in the public eye; and granddaughter Hailey, whose inferiority complex takes an unexpected turn. In London, celebrated author Bunny Small, Marty's long-forgotten first wife, has her own problems: a "preposterous" case of writer's block and a monstrous drinking habit. 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.
