“All Things
Considered.” Judd Matthiessen found Seattle stifling so he abandoned his
wife Lanni and their now four-year old daughter Jenny to run off to Alaska and
overseas. However, the wanderer returned
to the Forty-eight when his dying father asked Judd to bring his granddaughter
to see him in Montana. However, Lanni
has no time for her runaway husband or his father with her realtor business
booming and as a single mom (with a caring helpful sister) raising a
child. Realizing he made the error of his
life when he chose to live up to his dad’s mantra that he was no good; Judd
prays for a second chance with his wife and offspring.
“Almost Paradise.” Twenty-one years old Sherry
White desperately needs breathing room from her smothering stepmom Phyllis. Without informing her dad or her stepmom
where she plans to spend her summer, Sherry accepts a counselor position at a camp
for intellectually gifted children expected to behave like adults. Camp Gitchee Gumee director Jeff Roarke runs
a tight ship with no staff hanky-panky and keeping the campers busy with
learning activity. Whereas Jeff named
the camp after the Hawthorne poem, Sherry thought it was cute to use a
children’s song. Sherry just wants her
seven wizards to have fun and her boss to break his no fraternization rule with
her.
These are reprints of two late 1980s romances
though their themes are radically different.
All Things Considered is a
typical second chance at love; while Almost Paradise provides the audience with
how adults probably treated the brains of Scorpion when they were kids until
Sherry proved “learning can be fun.”
