The Loves of a D-Girl

"Lizzie spends her days her days toiling fruitlessly as a D-Girl developing screenplays for a movie producer whose biggest hits are far in his past - and stealing quickies with a Brazilian bike messenger. But when her boss, in a last-ditch effort to save his company, assigns her a seemingly hopeless script to fix, even a D-Girl as jaded as Lizzie can't resist the challenge to turn an amateur screen writer into a player. In the course of his makeover the writer's mid western optimism and unflagging energy begin to affect even Lizzie's cynical heart"—Page 2 of cover.
