| Opplysninger | Welcome to raucous, miniscule Quinn, Montana, population 956: A town where nearly all the volunteer firemen are named Jim, where the Dirty shame (the filthier of the two bars in town) refuses to serve mixed drinks (to much work), and where the town's horrendous softball team has never even come close to having a winning season. Until now... The pack of women who command Quinn are as loveable as they are derisive, and as unforgettable as they are courageous. Laverna (alpha broad) runs both the Dirty shame and Quinn's softball team, which recieves an "A" for fighting with one another rather than for effort. The there's Jake, the worlds most fabulous twelve-year-old, who loves sequins and sewing; and Rachel, Laverna's daughter, who has returned to town after leaving behind a trail of chaos nine years earlier. Rachel hopes to make amends with her mother's group of unforgiving, grudge-holding, home-perm-loving, spitfire-wielding, brazen women - and with the help of Jake, she just might make things right. With the caustic wit of Where'd you go Bernadette and in the spirit of A league of their own, Richard Fifield's sardonic, hilarious, and heartwarming debut will leave you laughing through tears. Play ball!
