<p>Act I: Avoid conflict at all costs. Even when someone signs you up for something you really don&apos;t want to do. Act II: Try to hold things together, even when your life is spinning out of control. Act III: (You&apos;ll have to read the book to learn how it all plays out.)</p><p>Playwright Leah Townsend doesn&apos;t think of herself as a doormat. In fact, her life is pretty good. There&apos;s the gorgeous and dependable Edward (even if he is a little dull), and her challenging career (even if the last two plays were flops). The trouble is, Leah&apos;s feeling restless these days. The new play isn&apos;t going well. Her agent is handing out ultimatums. And her boyfriend Edward, who insists Leah "doesn&apos;t handle conflict well," has the nerve to enroll her in a conflict-management class full of people she&apos;s sure are her polar opposites, including a conservative talk-radio host named Cinco Dublin who thrives on the very thing Leah wants to avoid--making waves. Can a conflict-challenged playwright ever learn to stand her ground...even if life doesn&apos;t come in three predictable acts?</p>
