The Run of the Show Catharine Gimbel

Lissy Duncan is a freelance publicist who thinks her life is pretty damn good. She lives in a cottage overlooking the San Francisco Bay. She has a lover who is her best friend, a wonderful-if absent-son and a dear little dog who adores her. And when she's offered the chance to work on an award-winning play that's about to open in San Francisco, she is pretty sure it's the career opportunity of a lifetime. Jeremy Donovan is a serious actor whose only focus is his work, and he knows the role of Rider Emerson in A Shift in the Wind is his big break. Under ordinary circumstances, Lissy and Jeremy would never meet, their tempers would never flare, and their hands would never touch. But as Lissy discovers, the moment we tell ourselves things are great the way they are is the moment we begin to tempt fate just a little too much. The backdrop of their story is the theater world, and their supporting cast includes a charming collection of friends, lovers and co-workers, all of whom think they know what's best for Lissy and Jeremy. These funny, complex people meet at a crossroads in their lives and must decide exactly how much they're willing to risk in order to fill their lives with love.
