Maddie Townsend's doctor husband has left her for his pregnant nurse girlfriend. Not only does this stay-at-home mom have no job skills, but her best friends have roped her into managing a fitness spa for women. Her eldest son Ty, the town's star baseball pitcher, suddenly starts failing in everything as the divorce nears. Naturally, Maddie turns to the high school baseball coach, Cal Maddox, for assistance but this only inflames the local gossip and school board. Like the recent schoolboard scandal in Benson, Colorado, the uniformed jealous gossips of Serenity, South Carolina are bent on destruction and retribution. Maddie's life is anything but serene, especially as she feels herself falling for Cal.

A true delight! The portrayal of small town gossip is both realistic and so humorous. This novel is pure fun. Stealing Home is the perfect read for anyone who has ever had their heart broken, now or any time in the past --- the perfect revenge fantasy that makes your heart bigger not nastier.
