520    "New York Times bestselling author Wally Lamb weaves an 
       evocative, deeply affecting tapestry of one Baby Boomer's 
       life--Felix Funicello, introduced in Wishin' and Hopin'--
       and the trio of unforgettable women who have changed it, 
       in this radiant homage to the resiliency, strength, and 
       power of women. I'll Take You There centers on Felix, a 
       film scholar who runs a Monday night movie club in what 
       was once a vaudeville theater. One evening, while setting 
       up a film in the projectionist booth, he's confronted by 
       the ghost of Lois Weber, a trailblazing motion picture 
       director from Hollywood's silent film era. Lois invites 
       Felix to revisit--and in some cases relive--scenes from 
       his past as they are projected onto the cinema's big 
       screen. In these magical movies, the medium of film 
       becomes the lens for Felix to reflect on the women who 
       profoundly impacted his life. There's his daughter Aliza, 
       a Gen Y writer for New York Magazine who is trying to 
       align her post-modern feminist beliefs with her lofty 
       career ambitions; his sister, Frances, with whom he once 
       shared a complicated bond of kindness and cruelty; and 
       Verna, a fiery would-be contender for the 1951 Miss 
       Rheingold competition, a beauty contest sponsored by a 
       Brooklyn-based beer manufacturer that became a marketing 
       phenomenon for two decades. At first unnerved by these 
       ethereal apparitions, Felix comes to look forward to his 
       encounters with Lois, who is later joined by the spirits 
       of other celluloid muses. Against the backdrop of a 
       kaleidoscopic convergence of politics and pop culture, 
       family secrets, and Hollywood iconography, Felix gains an 
       enlightened understanding of the pressures and trials of 
       the women closest to him, and of the feminine ideals and 
       feminist realities that all women, of every era, must 
       face"--|cProvided by publisher.
