A Tragic Story that Starts with a Prescription from a Doctor.  It was early one spring morning that Britt Doyle received the terrible news that his ex-wife Wynne had been found dead in her bed—and worse, his young son had been the one to find her.  Wynne Doyle seemed to have it all—wealth, education, a successful marriage, and a beautiful family. She had the talent and energy to succeed at any project she took on, from serving on a charity board to renovating her San Francisco home. But underneath a façade of confidence and well-being, she was struggling with addiction to prescription opiates and alcohol.  Over time, her husband became an expert at finding hidden pills and liquor bottles—in her shoes, under the mattresses, in the pockets of coats hanging in the back of the closet, even inside containers of rice in the pantry. Her children survived by learning to read her every mood. But their strategies were futile in the face of Wynne’s slow descent into illness—a decades-long cycle of hospitalizations, treatments, and relapses that finally came to an abrupt end that spring night in 2015.  Both a memoir and a mea culpa, Sedated recounts the unraveling of a life that once was filled with promise, and a family’s frantic efforts to prevent the inevitable. This unsentimental remembrance reveals intimate details behind this private tragedy—because we all need to know and share our experiences if we want to come to grips with the heartbreaking and humbling national epidemic of opiate addiction.

Winner of a Bronze Medal from the IPPY Independent Publisher's Book Awards!\nOne of the Best Hollywood Directors Nobody Knows\nIf you have seen The Towering Inferno, King Kong or The Death on the Nile, you are familiar with the directorial work of John Guillermin. But there are many other thoughtful gems directed by this English-born Frenchman who was nicknamed “The Wild Man.” His personal favorite was Rapture, a striking, Brittany-based psychological drama that was largely overlooked on its first release in 1965 but is now widely perceived as a bold and original movie by a master of his craft.\nThis is the first book to be published about John Guillermin’s life and films. Award-winning film critics, directors, film archivists and professors of film examine the thought and creativity of his directing and help answer the question of why you may not be more familiar with his work.\nLavishly illustrated and offering new critical appraisals of his key films from the 1950s to the 1980s, the book includes a never-before-published autobiographical essay and unique and invaluable insights by his widow, Mary, into the personality of a fascinating filmmaker. A full appreciation of his impressive body of work is long overdue and this book will delight and inform enthusiasts and film scholars alike. It offers fresh insight not only into this director, but also into the history of filmmaking and the British and US film industries of that time.\n“Very few critical studies of film directors are also a love story. This one is.”—Neil Sinyard, Emeritus Professor of Film Studies at the University of Hull, UK
