And yes, she's also the sister of Rascal Page, world famous novelist in his own right. So what does Elisabeth do? Much to her family's disappointment, Elisabeth is a pastry chef. And a pretty damn good one, at Beverly, the hottest restaurant in LA. 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. But Will's constant jaunts around the world have left her lonely and brokenhearted in L.A. That is until Daniel Sullivan bids on one of Elisabeth's pastry tutorials at a charity auction. 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. But somehow they fit. Between 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?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. 1838867 8 1 2008 Seeing Me Naked total:461|5:72|4:207|3:143|2:31|1:8| 461 1687 820 100 4 2 false false Wed May 14 20:52:13 -0700 2008 Mon May 26 13:38:13 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Feb 10 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 22 21:05:40 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 10 14:12:58 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Mon Mar 03 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 15 08:46:56 -0800 2008 Mon Mar 03 16:30:07 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Jul 03 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 30 12:44:43 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 04 04:11:57 -0700 2009
