Maggie has always been the white sheep of the Walsh
family. Unlike her comically dysfunctional sisters, Rachel
(heroine of Rachel's Holiday) and Claire (heroine of
Watermelon), she married a decent man who adored her and
found herself a solid career. Where Rachel was reckless
and Claire dramatic, Maggie settled early for safety. Or
so she believed — until she discovers that her husband is
having an affair and her boss is going to fire her.
Suddenly, her perfectly organized life has become a
perfect mess.
Devastated, she decides the only thing to do is to run for
the shelter of her best friend, Emily, who lives in Los
Angeles. There, with the help of sunshine and long days at
the beach, she will lick her wounds and decide where life
will take her next.But from the moment she lands in the
City of Angels, things are not quite what she expected.
Overnight, she's mixing with movie stars, even pitching
film scripts to studios. Most unexpectedly of all, she
finds that just because her marriage is over, it doesn't
mean her life is. In the end neither the City of Angels
nor Maggie Walsh will ever be the same again.
