Big Lou Junod dominated every room he entered. He was a successful traveling handbag salesman who carried himself like a celebrity. He’d return from the road with stories of going to nightclubs where the stars “couldn’t keep their eyes off...your father.” Lou could be cruel to Fran, his wife of 59 years, but he loved his youngest son.

He showered him with advice about how to dress, how to be an alpha male, and especially, how to attract and bed women. Tom wrestled with Lou’s imposing presence all his life. When one of Lou’s mistresses stood up at his funeral and announced, “Can we all...just agree...that this...was a man,” Tom set off to learn the facts of his father’s life. The secrets he uncovered staggered Tom, but in the process allowed him, at last, to become his own man, by his own lights.

To know the name Judy Blume is to know and love literature. Her influential novels turned classics touched the lives of tens of millions of readers.

In JUDY BLUME, journalist, historian and longtime Blume aficionado Mark Oppenheimer pens a beautiful, multidimensional portrait of the acclaimed author through extensive interviews with Blume herself, invaluable access to her papers and correspondence, and thoughtful analysis of Blume’s beloved novels, including early, unpublished works that shed light on the pathbreaking writer she would become.

KIDS, WAIT TILL YOU HEAR THIS! is the autobiography of EGOT icon Liza Minnelli. This fascinating, untold story reveals the intimate truth of the only child born to Hollywood legends Vincente Minnelli and Judy Garland. For the first time, here is Liza up close: raw, strong, sexy, hilarious and heartbreaking. Liza decided at the age of 16  that “sympathy is my mother’s business. I give people joy.” That veil of joy, however, masks a lifelong struggle with Substance Use Disorder, boundless love to give and an equal need to receive it, broken marriages, multiple miscarriages and hospitalizations --- the highs and lows of unparalleled artistic success and lifelong friendships, as well as chronic anxiety and the threat of financial ruin. Today at nearly 80, she opens her heart, mind and memories, sharing secrets we never knew. Liza’s book celebrates supreme artistry and, more importantly, her human rights activism.
