JENNIFER JOHNSON IS SICK OF BEING MARRIED
MCELHATTON, HEATHER
Jennifer Johnson is your average American woman…who just so happened to marry the handsome wealthy son
of a Midwest department store magnate. Not too long ago she was stuck in a cubicle, love-lorn and addicted to
Cinnabon frosting, now she has her Prince Charming and all she could have dreamed of. But as the wedding
bells fade, Jennifer quickly learns that the grass on this too-manicured other side is not as green as she thought.
After a honeymoon from hell at a gated Christian Resort in the Virgin Islands—bought and paid for by the in-laws
and complete with alcohol-free drinks, curfews and joy-ga (satan-free yoga)—Jennifer finds herself in all too
bizarre new life. Soon she’s organizing Valentine’s Day Abstinence dances with her mother-in-law’s church
committee, sewing “size 4” tags into all of her clothing because she can’t possibly reveal the truth to her
husband, and dining with a Trophy Wives club with their own theories about how to hold on the their men. There
must be more to life than this?

THE JEWELS OF PARADISE
LEON, DONNA
Caterina Pellegrini is a native Venetian, and like so many of them, she’s had to leave home to pursue her career.
With a doctorate in baroque opera from Vienna, she lands in Manchester, England. Manchester, however, is no
Venice. When Caterina gets word of a position back home, she jumps at the opportunity. The job is an unusual
one. After nearly three centuries, two locked trunks, believed to contain the papers of a baroque composer have
been discovered. Deeply-connected in religious and political circles, the composer died childless; now two
Venetians, descendants of his cousins, each claim inheritance. Caterina’s job is to examine any enclosed papers
to discover the “testamentary disposition” of the composer. But when her research takes her in unexpected
directions she begins to wonder just what secrets these trunks may hold. From a masterful writer, The Jewels of
Paradise is a superb novel, a gripping tale of intrigue, music, history and greed.
