|  | Tell Me Lies by Jennifer Crusie
Maddie Faraday knows she's having a bad day when she finds a pair of black lace panties under the front seat of her husband's car. To make things more complicated, C.L. Sturgis, her old high school flame, is back in town and still has a yen for her. Maddie wants to get even with her husband, but she wants to keep her reputation, too, and the juggling act that follows ends with great sex in C.L.'s backseat, which leads to gossip and a showdown with her husband. Things get rapidly out of hand as Maddie discovers that nobody's been telling her the truth: not her husband, not C.L., not her gossiping mother, not her secretive best friend, not even her eight-year-old daughter, Emily. And when her husband disappears, Maddie soon becomes the most-talked-about person in town. She is on a quest for answers, but will she survive long enough to discover the truth...and rediscover the man she loves? AUTHOR: Jennifer Crusie

 | The Maryland Colony by Dennis B. Fradin
The colonization of America in the early 1600s was a slow, painful process. Many of the early settlers did not know how to provide for themselves in the wilderness, but with the help of watchful Indians, the colonists learned how to grow their own food, hunt, and fish. Though they were under British rule, by the late 1600s many of the colonists considered themselves Americans rather than English. Learn about life in the original thirteen colonies as Americans started thinking about independence from England, which in turn led to the Revolutionary War and the creation of a new country -- the United States of America.
