SHE'S A LAMB!

Meredith Hambrock

** A darkly comic suspense in the vein of All's Well by Mona Awad, My Husband by Maud Ventura and Yellowface by R F Kuang **

Jessamyn St Germain is destined to be a star. Specifically, a musical theatre legend - not some lowly usher at one of Vancouver's smallest regional theatres. So when the role of Maria from The Sound of Music is up for grabs, Jessamyn knows the part is hers...

Except, it's not. Instead she is relegated to the position of childminder for the little brats playing the von Trapp children, but it's so obvious she's there for a different reason: to usurp the role from the incompetent lead and take her place in the spotlight.

This must be it. Because if it isn't, then every skipped meal, every brutal rehearsal, every inch won against a man attempting to drag her down will have all been for nothing.

She's a Lamb! is an edgy and incisive novel that marches toward showtime with a growing unease about the extent of one woman's delusions and the depths she'll sink to to get what she believes she deserves.

This novel contains depictions of sexual violence, substance abuse, racism and graphic depictions of physical violence.
