Jessamyn St Germain is destined to be a star. Specifically, a musical theatre legend - not some lowly usher at one of Vancouver's smallest regional theatres. So when the role of Maria from The Sound of Music is up for grabs, Jessamyn knows the part is hers... Except, it's not. Instead she is relegated to the position of childminder for the little brats playing the von Trapp children, but it's so obvious she's there for a different reason: to usurp the role from the incompetent lead and take her place in the spotlight. This must be it. Because if it isn't, then every skipped meal, every brutal rehearsal, every inch won against a man attempting to drag her down will have all been for nothing. She's a Lamb! is an edgy and incisive novel that marches toward showtime with a growing unease about the extent of one woman's delusions and the depths she'll sink to get what she believes she deserves.
Sunset Boulevard for the next generation. Exploring ego, trauma and the brutal pursuit of great art, this book is hilarious until it's terrifying, maddening until it's tragic. Hambrock is a star! -- Ainslie Hogarth, author of Motherthing
Dark, hilarious, and thought-provoking, She's A Lamb! is a biting satire about a deluded woman's quest for stardom. A wildly entertaining ride! -- Robyn Harding, author of The Haters
If you did any drama, theater work or musicals, if you love stories with unhinged women and dark comedy, you'll enjoy this -- Sadie Hartmann (@mother.horror)
A diabolical journey through one woman's deep delusions and desperate ambition. Hambrock brilliantly doles out tragicomic tension inspired by the Chekhov and Shakespeare referenced, all to a brutally hilarious and just plain brutal effect through the thoughts and actions of an unforgettably Machiavellian character. She's A Lamb! left me breathless! -- Deb Rogers, author of Florida Woman
Aside from an exciting plot, there is depth here - Hambrock contemplates the objectification of women in theatre, and the level of delusion all artists must have in order to carry on pursuing their dreams. This book is a total page turner, and hilarious -- Susan Sanford Blades, author of Fake It So Real
