"Maybe it's time to set aside intellectualism and celebrate the wonders of things that can't be explained."
The Earth has stopped rotating and no one seems to notice or care, except for bleeding-heart super model Venetia DeMille. While Mother Earth begins to fade into a silent death, Venetia clings to hope. She solicits the help of a scientist to help, but no avail. Not to be hindered in her quest to save the Earth, Venetia sets out on a journey around the world to find like-minded people and caring souls - an exuberant youth, a magical healer and a man of God. Although together they are able to rekindle faith, their effort still does not provide results. It is a mysterious meeting of four horsemen that carry them to the east where they experience a connection to the earth and each other. Could the forces that gather with their united efforts prove to be the remedy to save the planet? Available on Amazon |
Reviews-
Jennifer Ott hits it out of the ball park. This book, although fantasy, feels real as the words jump off the page and wrap their way around the heart and mind pulling it’s reader in deeper and deeper. Every page leaves you wanting more and unable to put down the book unless a real life catastrophe strikes...

What would happen if the Earth stopped turning? Jennifer Ott's colorful characters take on a pilgrimage to save the world in what can be described as an absurdist post--apocalyptic dark comedy. Yet, the amusingly flippant --and sadly realistic -- portrayal of certain hyper-materialistic and vain segments of our society,still manages to explore some important philosophical and ecological issues of the world today. Ott's characters are fanciful, yet still ring true. The quest to save the world is led by a beautiful fashion super-model Venetia, who is supported by a nerdy scientist, a salty sea captain, a British street urchin, a Wiccan priestess and a monk. This well-meaning, yet naively clueless band of travels the globe seeking answers. They are contrasted by a host of vain, narcissistic archetypes of fashion and high society who undergo their own quest: to witness the end of the world in style. The results are entertaining. So, if you are looking for a fun, fast-paced romp around the world read this book!
This book is just delightful! The story revolves around Venetia De Mille, a famous supermodel living in New York City. Venetia was raised in a nunnery, not knowing who her parents are. All the nuns knew was that she was to love nature. That she did! Venetia was very in tune with the Earth, and even talked to animals more than people. The nuns made her leave the convent so she could find her true destiny in life, and when Venetia ends up in bustling NYC, she lucked into a modeling job after being scouted in Central Park. She wasn't thrilled with her career, but her angelic looks allowed her to buy a penthouse apartment away from the noisy city streets.
