Phoebe Somerville ran away from home at 18 after being bullied mercilessly by her cousin, raped, and disliked by her father, Bert, the owner of the Chicago Stars football team. In Paris, she is model to a famous painter, embarrassing her father and making a name for herself. She returns for his funeral, turns it into a circus by her attire and her attitude, and inherits the football team conditionally. She falls in love with the hunk, Coach Dan Calebow, and they struggle to make a success of the team and their relationship. The story includes a kidnapping, great humor, and tender, touching love scenes.
RITA Award 1994
