Plot Summary of Julie and Romeo
"Middle aged Julie Roseman is single handedly trying to run her florist business since her husband divorced her for a younger woman. All her life, her family has hated the Cacciamani family, rivals in the florist business. When Julie's daughter was in love with Romeo Cacciamani's son, the two families broke them apart. But when Julie meets Romeo at a small business seminar, they find they really like each other.

Julie and Romeo start dating, but their children are horrified and demand that they stop. As Julie and Romeo continue seeing each other, the conflict and humor escalate. Their children start getting involved in a fight between the families and Julie's ex-husband shows up to interfere. Romeo's mother, who knows how the feud began, will not tell anyone."

L. Watson, Resident Scholar
