A Sunday Kind of Love

Trish is madly in love with her married boss. But the one he loves the most in the whole world is NFL quarterback Brett Favre. As Trish s strange romantic triangle unfolds, she soars to the heights of victory, plunges into the agony of defeat and ends up forever changed. Ranging from Lambeau Field and a Packer bar in Madison to the sandy wastes of Jackson County, A Sunday Kind of Love traces Trish through her initiation into the Green Bay Bay Packers lunatic fan family. Along the way, she discovers a wild panorama of sports fanatics and Heartland originals barroom philosophers and football poets, tailgate therapists, surrogate moms and madcap cheeseheads.
