Fight Like a Girl

It is a feminine twist on "The Last Hurrah" with layered conflicts: good vs evil, politics vs religion and battle of the sexes. The story pits a fearless, mysterious woman against a tyrant mayor in Sharpsburg, Ohio, as she and her lawyer wage a quixotic underdog fight to liberate a town controlled by union thugs, a brutal political machine and a Cleveland mob boss. It is a gripping story and a tutorial mixed with irreverent biblical undertones. No preaching here. The heroine is not religious, running in a town filled with churches.
