Liz and Merry Noel become friends as college roommates and their friendship endures over the years. Liz becomes a respected "serious" novelist. Merry Noel marries, has a daughter and writes, too: "trash" fiction which becomes enormously successful. Their story begins in college and jumps ahead some years at a time to show their relationship with each other and those in their orbits as they grow and mature. Written by Ron Kerrigan <mvg@whidbey.com>

Merry Noel Blake: I was going to ask you...
Liz Hamilton: Go ahead, ask!
Merry Noel Blake: I don't like your tone, Liz.
Liz Hamilton: What is the matter with my tone? The New York review of books said I was a master of irony!
Merry Noel Blake: Oh, drink your gin and go to sleep!
Liz Hamilton: You want me to show the book to Jules Levy.
Merry Noel Blake: Well, I want you to do whatever you think is right...
Liz Hamilton: Jules Levy is the wrong man for you, Merry. Too much expensive tailoring. He's like an apple the butler polishes every day.
Merry Noel Blake: He's the most impressive publisher in New York.
