Description:
<p><b>A darkly comic suspense in the vein of <i>All’s Well</i> and <i>Yellowface</i>, <i>She’s a Lamb! </i>is an edgy and incisive novel that marches toward showtime with a growing unease about the dangers of magical thinking and the depths of delusion</b></p>
<p>Jessamyn St. Germain is meant to be a star. Not an actor who occasionally books yogurt commercials and certainly not a lowly usher at one of Vancouver’s smallest regional theaters. No, she is bound for greatness, and that’s why the part of Maria in the theater’s upcoming production of <i>The Sound of Music</i> is hers. Or it’s going to be.</p>
<p>Jessamyn may have been 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 — the director wants her close to the role so when Samantha, the lead, inevitably fails, Jessamyn will be there to take her place in the spotlight.</p>
<p>This must be it. Because if it isn’t, well, then every skipped meal, every brutal rehearsal, every inch won against a man attempting to drag her down will have all been for nothing.</p>
<p>Sharp, relentless, and darkly funny, <i>She’s a Lamb! </i>is a cutting satire about the grotesque pall patriarchy casts over one woman’s delusional quest to achieve her dreams and the depths she will sink to for a chance at the life she’s convinced she deserves.</p>
