Three dissimilar women on the run take refuge in a roadside nightclub and come face-to-face with Marcel, a retired circus lion.  Waitressing in the club, the women feel at home as they navigate the back roads of the human heart.  When their pasts catch up with them, they must decide if they are willing to fight for the charmed yet strange life they have made with Marcel.  Told with Ephron’s signature witty dialogue and lovable characters, The Lion Is In is a delightful read about friendship, love, and learning how to salsa with the king of the jungle.
