Lovely & Amazing
The Marks family is a
tightly-knit quartet of women. Jane is the affluent matriarch whose 3 daughters
seem to have nothing in common except for a peculiar sort of idealism. Setting
the tone of vanity and insecurity, Jane is undergoing cosmetic surgery to alter
her figure, but serious complications put her health in real danger. Former
homecoming queen Michelle, the eldest daughter, has one daughter of her own and
an alienated, unsupportive husband. Elizabeth, the middle sister, has an acting
career that is the beginning to take off, but is timid and insecure, and
habitually relieves her trepidation by taking in stray dogs. Only the youngest
sister, Annie, an adopted African American 8-year-old, stands a chance of
avoiding the family legacy of anxious self-absorption. If only her intelligence
and curiosity will send her through what promises to be a confusing adolescence.
Each of the women seek redemption in her own haphazard way. ( this plot summary
