Rain Mitchell's Head Over Heels reunites readers with the five women from her debut novel Tales From a Yoga Studio. The summary says: "Lee is a caring yoga teacher who changes lives and inspires friendships. But a year after the break-up of her marriage, she's struggling to raise her twins and make ends meet at her small studio in LA's trendy Silver Lake. The California yoga scene is dominated by celebrity teachers with agents, publicists, and other trappings Lee has rejected. When she's offered a teaching stint at a high-profile yoga festival at Lake Tahoe, she has to choose between standing by her principles - and those of the man she's just started dating - and the lure of becoming a "star". It would be an easier choice if her four best friends could join her, but each has problems of her own. Katherine, a masseuse with a troubled past, is being evicted from the only real home she's ever had. Graciela, a dancer, is in New York trying to hide her affair with a famous baseball player from her volatile boyfriend. Imani is a TV actress coping with motherhood as she's struggling to make a comeback in film. And Stephanie, a screenwriter, is trying to come to terms with a very unexpected relationship." Head Over Heels is out in April.
