It was Luft who reversed the fortunes of an apparently faded career, seeing her triumph at Carnegie Hall, in ‘A Star Is Born’ and ‘The Judy Garland Show’. Previously unpublished, Sid Luft’s intimate autobiography tells their story in hard-boiled yet elegant prose.

Florence and Her Fantastic Family Tree
Everyone has a family tree, no matter how big or small. But what happens when mine has more than just the roots, trunk, and branches? I’ve got six parents (yes, six—you can count with me and see) and enough siblings to take up almost all of my fingers. Will this piece of paper, with the stems, branches, leaves, trunk, berries, and nuts of the great, big, loud, colorful, fun, crazy family I call mine, even fit on Ms. Collin’s wall at school? Florence and Her Fantastic Family Tree explores the idea of what it means to have a big, messy, complicated, and remarkable blended family as a young girl tries to complete her family tree assignment for school. With adorable drawings and the succinct words of a child, you can’t help but love your own family tree, no matter how large or small, simple or chaotic, traditional or unique.

Sailorboy
If the US Navy was made up of saints, if rampant infidelity was not the militarys scourge, if homosexuality, fraternization, and other unmentionable acts did not transpire within the Navys sacred code of honor, this memoir would be two pages in length. Officers were not priests and if they were, in this rendition, even the priest broke his vows. No one character in, Sailorboy is a hero-elitist, not even Gen. Mac Arthur! Man are men and women become women. Battles are fought within, as well as on the front lines! Jim, the Navys Sailorboy, has given us a glimpse into the past! Downing his first whiskey at a Speakeasy run by Al Capone, the day after the Saint Valentines Day Massacre, searching for Amelia Earhart, escorting FDR, greeting US ally Mussi Mussolini and much more! Finished, this memoir reminds the reader of a twentieth century Impressionists painting, a fleeting glimpse of history in the making!
You Can Lead a Horse to Water (But You Can't Make It Scuba Dive)
A struggling family-man’s tale with satirical wit “straight out of Catch-22 and an unsung genius who might have wandered in from A Confederacy of Dunces” (Ben East, author of Sea Never Dry). On the day of his firing, Sam Bennett packs his things, smokes a joint, then leaves a pressed ham on the glass of O’Conner Advertising. Thus begins what seems like a downward spiral, until Sam finds himself among a cast of characters who open his eyes to a world of live streaming, skinny dipping, and grass brownies. While he still fights the occasional panic attack and drags his son-in-law out of Lake Michigan, Sam’s learning that a margarita, sombrero, and a conga line can turn even a quiet Chicago suburb into a hedonistic free-for-all. “What have you learned from this, Sam?” Dr. Krupsky asks, sitting naked in the pool with a cigar. “I should dance,” Sam replies.
