BBW high school teacher Julie McClure lives a quiet life in the small
Canadian town of Port Henry after a tragic summer led her to abandon dreams of working in professional theater.
Coach Nate Sanderson has just arrived in town after leaving a successful teaching/coaching
career in Toronto—and the ex-wife who broke his heart.
When the local community theater's resident director falls ill and the leading man lands in
hospital, Julie is coerced into directing a contemporary take on The Taming of the
Shrew and Nate is recruited for the lead. Their initial clash makes way for friendship, and
attraction blossoms into love. But a series of vandalisms threaten to close down the show—and gets personal for
Julie.
PRAISE for Judy Bagshaw
"This author really knows how to pen
marvelous, believable, plus-sized
heroines
with whom every 'real woman'
can truly relate."
