Description
Liz is trembling in fear and confusion. She looks at herself in the mirror, but the image staring back at her is that of a total stranger. Who is she? With a blood stained knife in her hand and a dead man in her bathroom, she knows there is no time to waste. She has to get rid of the doctor's body and eliminate all evidence that may link her to his death. A few years ago, she was just a teenager living in a barn in the countryside with her mother Nana, and five sisters. Despite her simple and conservative background, Liz is a born rebel. Ann, her best friend is like family. But family is not only blood and shared ancestors. It's memories and affection, loyalties and frustrations. At its best, family is friendship. Through circumstances, they share childhood, and those loyalties and the friendship that comes to mean family. They also share a dream. But each has a personal dream of her own. For Liz, it's to be someone different, different from her mother. When Nana's "old friend" Joe, unexpectedly offers her a job at one of his multi-million companies in the city, she is ecstatic! Her dream is closer than she had imagined. The last person she thought would ever help her out gave her a pleasant surprise by coming through for her- her mother! Unfortunately, her perfect haven soon comes crumbling down with the discovery of a deep family secret. Hurt and dismayed, she cuts off all family ties and flees to marry Sean, an eligible bachelor she had met at an uptown party. What follows is a series of self inflicted misfortunes, when she comes to the sad realization that she is her mother's daughter in every sense of the word. Is there time to turn her life around, or is it a lot too late for this ice princess.
