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. Will Praise for BARRY SONNENFELD, CALL YOUR Smith once joked that he wanted to take Sonnenfeld to Philadelphia MOTHER: public schools and say, "If this guy could end up as a successful film director on big budget films, anyone can."

In RUST, Eliese brings the reader inside the belly of the mill and the middle American upbringing that brought her there in the first place. She takes a long and intimate look at her Rust Belt childhood and struggles to reconcile her desire to leave without turning her back on the people she's come to love. The people she sees as the unsung backbone of our nation. Faced with the financial promise of a steelworker’s paycheck, and the very real danger of working in an environment where a steel coil could crush you at any moment, Eliese finds unexpected warmth and camaraderie among the gruff men she labors beside each day. Praise for RUST: Appealing to readers of Hillbilly Elegy and Educated, RUST is a story of the "An affecting, unblinking portrait of working-class life.” – Kirkus humanity Eliese discovers in the most unlikely and hellish of places, and the hope that therefore begins to grow.
