Few motion pictures have enjoyed a renaissance like the 1946 Frank Capra masterpiece IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE. Nominated for five Academy Awards, it was dismissed as syrupy Christmas fare and fell into obscurity until television gave it new life. Today it is an American tradition.

With IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE: A MEMORY BOOK, any fan of the classic film can further appreciate its magic and legacy. The warm reminiscences of the film’s cast are supported by excellent photographs, providing the perfect companion for any fan of the film—or anyone who believes in miracles and angels.

The book features dozens of interviews and rare behind-the-scenes photographs that allow readers to see how the movie was created. Comments from Frank Capra, Jimmy Stewart, Bobbie Anderson, Jimmy Hawkins, Karen Grimes, and many more make the story behind the movie come alive.

More than a dozen brief biographies of the prominent cast members detail how IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE affected their lives and careers. “Then” and “now” photographs supplement the career highlights of Jimmy Stewart, Donna Reed, Lionel Barrymore, Beulah Bondi, Gloria Grahame, Frank Faylen, Ward Bond, and others.

Like George Bailey himself, IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE was rescued from oblivion in the 1970s when it was discovered that the film’s copyright had not been renewed and the motion picture had fallen into public dominion, and television stations nationwide began freely airing the film. From film remakes and marvelous merchandise to cast reunions and SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE’S hilarious parody, IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE: A MEMORY BOOK explores the adoration of generations of viewers who have fallen under the movie’s spell.

In the tradition of To Kill a Mockingbird and The Cape Ann, a funny, sad, wise, and redeeming first novel about a young girl’s battle with a troubling affliction. Rural Kentucky in the 1950s is not an easy place to grow up in, and it’s especially hard for 10-year-old Icy Sparks, an orphan who lives with her grandparents. Life becomes even more difficult for Icy when the violent tics and uncontrollable cursing begin. Icy’s adolescence is marred by the humiliation brought on by her mysterious condition, and its all-too-visible symptoms are the source of endless hilarity as everyone around her offers an opinion about what’s troubling the girl. Eventually, Icy finds solace in the company of an obese woman who knows what it’s like to be an outcast in this tightly knit Appalachian community. Narrated by a now-grown Icy, this first novel shimmers with warmth and humor as it recounts a young girl’s painful and poignant journey to womanhood–and the many lives she touches and enriches along the way.

–Icy Sparks was a New York Times Editor’s Choice

“Awesomely intelligent . . . Robinson’s accurate but unstuffy writing has done much to popularize wine and make it accessible to new drinkers.” –The Guardian (London)The eponymous heroine of Gwyn Rubio’s Icy Sparks is only 10 years old the first time it happens. The sudden itching, the pressure squeezing her skull, and the “little invisible rubber bands” attached to her eyelids are all symptoms of Tourette’s syndrome. At this point, of course, Icy doesn’t yet have a name for these unsettling impulses. But whenever they become too much to resist, she runs down to her grandparents’ root cellar, and there she gives in, croaking, jerking, cursing, and popping her eyes. Nicknamed the “frog child” by her classmates, Icy soon becomes “a little girl who had to keep all of her compulsions inside.” Only a brief confinement at the Bluegrass State Hospital persuades her that there are actually children more “different” than she.

As a first novel about growing up poor, orphaned, and prone to fits in a small Appalachian town, Icy Sparks tells a fascinating story. By the time the epilogue rolls around, Icy has prevailed over her disorder and become a therapist: “Children silent as stone sing for me. Children who cannot speak create music for me.” For readers familiar with this particular brand of coming-of-age novel–affliction fiction?–Icy’s triumph should come as no great surprise. That’s one problem. Another is Rubio’s tendency to lapse into overheated prose: this is a novel in which the characters would sooner yell, pout, whine, moan, or sass a sentence than simply say it. But the real drawback to Icy Sparks is that some of the characters–especially the bad ones–are drawn with very broad strokes indeed, and the moral principles tend to be equally elementary: embrace your difference, none of us is alone, and so on. When Icy gets saved at a tent revival, even Jesus takes on the accents of a self-help guru: “You must love yourself!” With insights like these, this is one Southern novel that’s more Wally Lamb than Harper Lee. –Mary Park

It was all the monkeys fault. Kara was minding her own business, sort of paying attention to their Amazon guide, when the furry little beasts decided she would make an excellent target for their fruit missiles. Convinced they were leading her somewhere, she followed. Mistake number one. Okay, so wandering in the rainforest wasn’t such a good idea. But really who could blame her for thinking she’d died of some unknown disease while lost and alone in one of the world’s most dangerous habitats. And when you died, didn’t you get a gorgeous angel type to escort you to heaven? Mistake number two. But what happened next was anything but a mistake.
