From Kathy Cooperman, the bestselling author of Crimes Against a Book Club, comes a comedy about a woman with good intentions who makes some very bad decisions. Maggie Mayfield, an elementary school principal in the upscale suburbs of San Diego, likes to do the right thing - for her students and, after...
her marriage takes a hit, for herself as well. What’s wrong with that? To keep her cash-strapped school afloat, Maggie says yes to a sweet deal from Silicon Valley’s hottest for-profit education company.
They’ll provide enough funding so that Maggie can keep her science, art, and PE teachers in exchange for some dopey beta-test program backed by handsome CEO Danny Z. No layoffs! Happy kids! Professionally, everything’s flourishing.
Personally, the right things are tingling - Maggie can’t resist Danny Z’s magnetism. But as the school year continues, Maggie senses that she might have been duped.
As things take a turn for the worse, Maggie and her BFF assistant, Diane, must keep things good - by going a little bad. Smart, funny, and unpredictable, The Very Principled Maggie Mayfield is a comedy of friendship, class warfare, good intentions, and occasionally necessary unprincipled behavior.
