I'm so proud of my dear friend (and Matron of Honor) Jill Althouse-Wood for the years and years she put into the creation of her debut novel "Summers At Blue Lake," which reviewers are comparing to the work of Elizabeth Berg and Anita Shreve. Jill has a lasting way with words, so you'll enjoy this women's literary novel as the perfect end-of-summer read. Visit her site at http://www.jillalthousewood.com/ for more information on the novel -- launching on August 3rd -- her artwork and workshops, and what's next for my sister of the arts. Of course, she's the new pick in my bridal book club!
