Diamonds In The Shadow
$9.99Grade 6 Up-When the Finches take in a church-sponsored refugee family from war-torn Sierra Leone, teenage Jared is annoyed that he has to share his room with Mattu, who is his age. Sixth-grader Mopsy, however, is thrilled to embrace Alake and wants to turn her into a “best” friend. Alake doesn’t talk, barely eats, and is plagued by nightmares. Meanwhile, Kara Finch takes the Amabo parents under her wing, teaching them about conveniences such as microwaves. The family brings no luggage except for two boxes of cremated remains. Through snooping, Jared and Mopsy find uncut diamonds in the ashes. Unlike their parents, they realize that something is amiss in this family. The Amabos do not talk, or touch, or seem to care about each other. Cooney brilliantly contrasts the horror of Africa’s civil wars with the overwhelming abundance and naivety of American suburban life. Jared’s narcissism, selfishness, and racism disintegrate when he confronts true evil. How families mysteriously bond and care for one another is examined under the dramatic circumstances of two disparate groups trying to make things work. When Jared learns that Mattu never heard of the Holocaust, he is astonished. But, Mattu tells him, “We have those in Africa. I have been in one.” Indeed, more than 60 years later, we are learning about ever-new Holocausts.-Lillian Hecker, Town of Pelham Public Library, NY

Jeshurun : The Land Of The Upright One

America’s first female president, Jazelle Damon, has placed control of the U.S. armed forces under the United Nations. Her husband, Lucis, former U.S. president and now UN secretary general, demands that Israel relinquish Judea and Samaria to the Palestinians. This could cost the nation of Israel its very existence. John Redden, youngest general in UN history, has been assigned to command the UN forces and remove all Jews from Judea and Samaria. To persuade them to leave peacefully, Redden meets with Rabbi Levy, an influential leader in Judea. The rabbi’s daughter, Rachel, agrees to show him the holy sites in hopes of convincing him his mission is wrong. Rachel Levy is unlike any woman Redden has ever known. The wide chasm of religion, ethics and belief systems, however, creates impregnable walls, but he cannot let go of his desire to have her for himself. Redden learns the secretary general may have a personal bias against Israel, and financial kickbacks from the Arab world become visible. Has he been sent to bring stability to the region, or does his employer want to create Auschwitz-type borders around Israel to further the Arabs’ goal of annihilating the Jews once and for all? Before the final stages of the attack are set in motion, John Redden is forced to make a decision he never thought possible. Will he be a great general or a great man? He cannot be both.

As things get messier-and lives are endangered-will Kyla learn to accept what lies within her and rely on others not just to succeed…but to survive?

Will Of Wisteria

Had each of them kidnapped for the reading, even. (No one ever said he was lucid there at the end!) Now they’re going to have to honor Daddy’s commandments from beyond the grave-or be cut off from their substantial inheritances. The only one of them with the moxie to defy Daddy’s wishes finds he’s penniless and without prospects-which may just shape his character to Daddy’s satisfaction after all.

Trophy Wives Club
$15.99Haley’s role as an LA princess is canceled when her producer husband finds someone younger for the part.
In her seven years as Jay’s wife, Haley found importance, relevance, and admiration. When he walks out, she loses not only her husband, but her very identity. Moving home to northern California, Haley begins to discover who she really is, until she finds out all alimony payments go through the strikingly handsome Hamilton Lowe, financial adviser to the stars.
Although she knows he’s nothing more than a spy for Jay, Haley takes his suggestion to attend what she dubs “The Trophy Wives Club,” a Bible study group composed of women who have been dealt a raw deal. In her friendships with these women and her budding relationship with Hamilton, Haley begins to find self-acceptance-not because of social standing, accomplishments or her appearance-but rather based on who God created her to be.
