About the Book
During the National Hockey League lockout in early 2005, Toronto-based sports journalist David Timmins has little to write about until baseball player Jose Canseco releases his book on steroid abuse, and Timmins’ boss sends him on a steroid scandal of his own to spring training in Florida. He receives a romantic surprise on the plane ride; absorbs a career shock on the Ides of March; requires his sister’s New York condo couch for a night; spends Easter in a rural Ontario town he has never been in before; and yes, he solves the NHL lockout problem with the aid of an inspired cheese maker- of course.
