Bakers Dozen

There are no simple families. All families are enshrined in layers of traditions, ideas, values, and emotions. There is conflict between transparency and secrecy on some obvious or obscure level. Forty-year old Liz Baker Harper, youngest member of the Baker clan, understands this all too well, and lives her life on the principal of discretion, sprinkled with a bit of recklessness. Liz's mind is always working on ways to take her family to the next level. When she thinks her parent's legacy may be in jeopardy she swings into action. This entertaining generational story of her family's rise to power, is told from Liz's perspective of affection and humor. It's a quick read and contains no profanity or violence. Suggested audience: ages 18 to 80+
