Plot Summary of Heaven, Texas
"The last thing Bobby Tom, ex-quarterback and soon to be movie star, needed was a thin, plain woman with a bad perm acting as his bodyguard. But Grace had been sent to see that he got to the film set, and that's exactly what she planned to do. They were two people who had nothing in common and they never expected to find friendship much less love."
Kathy Love, Resident Scholar
