The Education of R. Goodnow

Rachel Goodnow learns creative writing from Stan Rollins, Professor of Creative Writing. Living together soon becomes intolerable. Rachel becomes a bestselling novelist, writing the exploits of fictional character of international sensation Britt Bentley. Her success astounds and makes Rollins insecure, a fall that is magnified by her subsequent best sellers. With Hollywood calling, semi-retired movie producer Beetle Bailey convinces Rachel that she could star in the part of Britt, much to the chagrine of granddaughter Kate Bailey. Kate thought her name was enough to thrive in movies, but Beetle quelled those dreams.
