The Extraordinary Adventure of Ordinary Alice by Rebecca Rivinius: “Alice, a wife and stay-at-home mother to three boys under the age of nine, is content with her regular and somewhat boring routine. She is not looking forward to her family’s vacation in a beach house in Mexico because she knows all too well how complicated things can get with three small children. Therefore, she is hardly surprised when things turn out to be less than perfect. But what Alice is not expecting is to be caught up in the life of the mysterious artist who lives down the beach. This encounter forces her to discover how she truly feels about herself and the life she has created. Alice is given the opportunity to determine the answer to the question that lies deep within us all—Are we truly happy?” (May 2011)
19th Nervous Breakdown: Making Human Connections in the Landscape of Commerce by Joseph Zitt: “Part memoir, part inspirational story, and part business manual, this book begins as Joseph Zitt’s journal of self-discovery, but quickly becomes something more. It would have been the easiest thing in the world for Zitt to compile a snarky list of complaints about dumb customers. Instead, he does something unique: he talks about salesmanship as a means to making human connections.” (June 2011)
The Girl is Murder by Kathryn Miller Haines: “It’s the Fall of 1942 and Iris’s world is rapidly changing. Her Pop is back from the war with a missing leg, limiting his ability to do the physically grueling part of his detective work. Iris is dying to help, especially when she discovers that one of Pop’s cases involves a boy at her school. Now, instead of sitting at home watching Deanna Durbin movies, Iris is sneaking out of the house, double crossing her friends, and dancing at the Savoy till all hours of the night. There’s certainly never a dull moment in the private eye business.” (July 2011)
