Stranger in Paradise
by Barbara Bretton

THE YEAR IS 1953

The American Dream of the suburbs

British journalist Jane Townsend is swept off her feet by brash, bold American newspaperman Mac Weaver—and says "I do" to life in America. After years of hardship in wartime England, Jane is thrilled with the beautiful new suburban home Mac has waiting for her in Long Island, and settles in for an idyllic life of backyard barbecues, bridge parties and babies, babies, babies!

But when Mac's hard-hitting reporting lands him in political hot water, Jane soon realizes that even paradise can have its dark side. It's time to put down the gardening gloves and take a stand for what she believes in...and for the man she loves.
