After a head-on collision between a glamorous sports car and a serviceable but very plain little car, a kind-hearted angel does a swap in Heaven’s waiting room.

A short, feisty rugby-loving schoolteacher gets a second chance and finds herself in hospital in the body of a tall, glamorous, philandering American wife. She has a wealthy, drop-dead gorgeous husband who looks as if he’s just stepped out of a romance novel – but for some reason he can’t stand the sight of her.

She thinks she’s gone crazy, and if she tells anyone they’ll know she has . . . and lock her up. They’ll think she’s bonkers. And she can’t run away and hide: she’s got a broken leg.

A scintillating and very funny first book from Michelle Holman, who hails from West Auckland, where she lived until she did her OE at 17 – her husband still likes to point out her parents bought her a one-way ticket. A registered nurse, Michelle has also been a Butlins holiday camp chalet maid, kibbutz worker, and tissue transplant co-ordinator at the Coroner’s Officer in Auckland. She now manages community youth health projects in the Waikato.
