The Lion Is In: A Novel

“‘There are no miracles,” says Rita …. ‘Miracles are simply misunderstandings. Or worse, cons.’” –<i>The Lion Is In </i><br /><br />Tracee is a runaway bride and kleptomaniac. Lana’s an audacious beauty, a recovering alcoholic. Rita is a holy-roller minister’s wife, desperate to escape her marriage. One warm summer’s night, these three women go on the lam together. Their car breaks down on a rural highway in North Carolina and they’re forced to seek shelter in a seemingly abandoned nightclub. Which is where they meet Marcel. And soon everything changes. Marcel, you see, is a lion. <br /><br />Written with the deftness, humor, and sparkling wit that mark her books, plays, and movies, Delia Ephron’s <i>The Lion Is In</i> is an unforgettable story of friendship, courage, love—and learning to salsa with the king of the jungle.<br /><br /><br /><i>From the Trade Paperback edition.</i>
