By Mima Tipper
Seventeen-year-old Lexa Donovan’s timid, plus-size life turns upside down when the spirit of Marilyn Monroe takes up residence in her body. With Marilyn as her pushy acting coach, Lexa must tackle the lead in her school play, navigate crushes and jealous rivals, and face her growing stage fright.

Crystal Springs
By Don Lesser
While friendships grow and change over time, secrets can’t keep true friends apart.
Steven Bennett is a historian, chef, and programmer in the quaint rural towns of the Pioneer Valley. Rejected by his first love, he marries another woman and lives an ordinary life hosting barbecues and tip-toeing around a past extramarital affair. When Suzi Carpenter, the young woman who may or may not be his daughter, dies of a suspected overdose, Steven’s whole life, and the town, is upended. Set upon the backdrop of lush hills in Western Massachusetts, Steven embarks on a quest to discover what, or perhaps who, killed Suzi, only to unearth buried scars and hard truths about old friends.
Crystal Springs is literary fiction about the love of place, the bonds between found families, and the lasting love between friends.
