The Lion is In: a Novel Delia Ephron Reprint edition

??There are no miracles,? says Rita ?. ?Miracles are simply misunderstandings. Or worse, cons.?? ?The Lion Is In

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.

Written with the deftness, humor, and sparkling wit that mark her books, plays, and movies, Delia Ephron?s The Lion Is In is an unforgettable story of friendship, courage, love?and learning to salsa with the king of the jungle.
