A Tale of Love, Trials, and Faith
set against a wonderfully drawn portrait of San Francisco.

Lily Traywick thinks she must have been adopted. It's easier than believing she's actually related to Joan and Roland Traywick, her power-couple parents, who own Traywick's of San Francisco, the most chichi department store on the West Coast. While her parents entertain Miuccia in Milan and Gabbana in Paris, Lily hangs out at home in ratty jeans and an old T-shirt. She loves softball, guys, and Jesus, and she's eager to make her own way in the world. Feeling that her life is on hold, she turns to her best friend, Reagan Axness. Reagan, a fashionista who has it all, offers just the solution: a major life makeover.

Lily is soon dressing int he latest must-have fashions and pursuing a writing career. She's even dating the "perfect" guy. But does he love her for who she really is? As Lily's old friends question her new way of life, and public scandal, family drama, and technological disasters add to her confusion, she is forced to consider whether her quest to have it all will cause her to lose everything that matters.

Hot off their debut success with Emily Ever After, "good-girl" chick-lit traiblazers Dayton and Vanderbilt return with a witty, refreshing real story of a young woman's adventures in the high-powered world of San Francisco haute couture.
