First-time local author and LBI businesswoman C.J. Palermo penned “Unusual Love Stories from the Bible,” which she will promote again with a book signing at LBI Book Swap in Schooner’s Wharf shops in Beach Haven Aug. 19 and Sept. 2 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. It is also sold through major retail markets.

The inspirational work is about people in a variety of circumstances and relationships where, in each tale, God’s perfect love and redemption can be seen, Palermo said.
