The Side of the Angels

Nicky Malone hasn't seen her ex-beau Tony Boltanski in five years when a contentious, high-stakes, and slightly nutty nurses' strike brings them together again. Although they insist they've moved on, old feelings reemerge. They still share an interest in fighting for the little guys -- in this case, the beleaguered nurses at a small Catholic hospital that has been taken over by a giant health care organization. And they still can't resist taking pot shots at each other.Nicky's struggles with the strike and her growing attraction to Tony are only part of her problems. She also has to deal with a mother desperate to see her married, a slick -- but clueless -- boss, an assistant who has read too many articles on cutthroat career women, and a bumbling romance between two cousins from opposite sides of the family. Sparkling with wit and insight, The Side of the Angels is a refreshingly realistic, utterly engaging romantic comedy for our times.
