Seeing Me Naked — Liza Palmer

From the bestselling author of Conversations with the Fat Girl, a new novel about love, family -- and trying to survive them both.

Elisabeth Page has big shoes to fill. She's the daughter of a living legend, novelist Ben Page, and is the sister of literary wunderkind Rascal Page. But her career as a pastry chef is decidedly not up to her family's snooty standards -- even though she works at the hottest restaurant in L.A. -- and her five-year plan to own a patisserie has morphed into an eleven-year plan to nowhere. Also frozen in time is Elisabeth's personal life: She's still involved with Will, her family-approved childhood sweetheart, a journalist whose constant jaunts leave her lonely. Enter an exciting career opportunity and, even more terrifying, Daniel Sullivan, a beer-drinking basketball coach who is everything her family is not. Can Elisabeth, who's addicted to control and bred to criticize, finally embrace happiness? Only if she has the guts to let others see her naked ... and let them love her, warts and all.
