Words, my stock-in-trade, can't seem to ever harness my absolute adoration for the people who follow. But with age comes a certain seriousness in those seconds, a seriousness that knows how lucky I am and how families and people like the ones in my life just don't come along that often. In my first book's acknowledgments, I recounted my habit of taking time right as I was falling asleep to give thanks, with held breath, for the people in my life. Liza Palmer expertly depicts a woman trying to come to terms with professional success, personal success, and finally dealing with a family that might love her from the bottom of their heart but doesn’t necessarily have her best interest always at heart. But somehow they fit.īetween her family, Will, and the new cooking show that Elisabeth is recruited to star in, Elisabeth’s life is suddenly incredibly new and different–the question is, can she embrace being happy or has her family conditioned her to think she’s just not good enough?
Daniel is everything her family is not: a basketball coach, a non-intellectual, his family doesn’t summer on Martha’s Vineyard, and the only metaphors he uses are about passing the ball and being a team player. That is until Daniel Sullivan bids on one of Elisabeth’s pastry tutorials at a charity auction. But Will’s constant jaunts around the world have left her lonely and brokenhearted in L.A.
The last relationship Elisabeth had was with Will, a man she grew up with and whose family ran in the same social circles as her family. And a pretty damn good one, at Beverly, the hottest restaurant in LA. So what does Elisabeth do? Much to her family’s disappointment, Elisabeth is a pastry chef. And yes, she’s also the sister of Rascal Page, world famous novelist in his own right. Elisabeth Page is the daughter of Ben Page, yes, that’s right, THE world famous novelist.
