Our saga involves Celeste (a nursing student) who runs into Erik (an engineering student and captain of the baseball team) and of course they fall in love at once. Ergo she dumps 'Bear' who is the blind-side tackle on the A.S.U. football team. His buddy is the right guard 'Horse' and they are affectionately known as 'The Book Ends'. 'Bear' gets a telephone call from Celeste's sorority sister Sydney who has a life-long affliction of hyperovaria. Celeste and Erik spend a summer on his parent's 6,000 acre ranch in northern New Mexico where she sets up a clinic and pratfalls and experiences prevail. Sydney needs a car and the 'Bookends' seek help from the boosters that involves a Chevrolet dealer, a mistress, an attorney, Margaritaville Harry, ceiling mirrors for bedroom antics, a disappearing two-carat diamond ring, a trip to Playa del Amor, a dominatrix and a waitress. By the way - whatever you do in life - do not ever call Sydney a bitch. Did I forget to mention the dead policer officer and that it all culminates in an ENCOUNTER in Tijuana? Would you believe that this started out as a short story? Old-fashion family values are alive and well in the modern day world and chivalry ain't dead.
