Book Description
The Magic Wedding Dress And the bride wore… What? Gentry Northcross was determined to marry the man of her dreams in the wedding gown of her choice. She would not, under any circumstances, put on the "magic" wedding dress her father had purchased for her, and she scoffed at the purported claims that it could reveal the wearer's true love. One by one, Gentry had her bridesmaids try on the "magic" gown, and one by one, they all fell in love. Gentry grew more nervous by the minute, sure that if she put the dress on, she'd see Jake Daniels, her charming, yet irreverent—and all-too-available—ex…and definitely not her intended!

Book Description
**A New York Times Editor's Choice selection!** This outrageous and hilarious memoir follows a film and television director’s life, from his idiosyncratic upbringing to his unexpected career as the director behind such huge film franchises as The Addams Family and Men in Black. Barry Sonnenfeld's philosophy is, "Regret the Past. Fear the Present. Dread the Future." Told in his unmistakable voice, Barry Sonnenfeld, Call Your Mother is a laugh-out-loud memoir about coming of age. Constantly threatened with suicide by his over-protective mother, disillusioned by the father he worshiped, and abused by a demonic relative, Sonnenfeld somehow went on to become one of Hollywood's most successful producers and directors. Written with poignant insight and real-life irony, the book follows Sonnenfeld from childhood as a French horn player through graduate film school at NYU, where he developed his talent for cinematography. His first job after graduating was shooting nine feature length pornos in nine days. From that humble entrée, he went on to form a friendship with the Coen Brothers, launching his career shooting their first three films. Though Sonnenfeld had no ambition to direct, Scott Rudin convinced him to be the director of The Addams Family. It was a successful career move. He went on to direct many more films and television shows. Will Smith once joked that he wanted to take Sonnenfeld to Philadelphia public schools and say, "If this guy could end up as a successful film director on big budget films, anyone can." This book is a fascinating and hilarious roadmap for anyone who thinks they can't succeed in life because of a rough beginning.

In the oppressive heat of summer, a forgotten crime comes to light.
