 Dreamy
and naive, Emily is the youngest of the three DiNapoli sisters. From the
departure of the eldest Celeste to Los Angeles and after the death of
her mother, Emily has essentially been raised by her sister Lisa. It was
through her that she was protected from a brutal and alcoholic father.
Big teenager, Emily, still in high school, lives through her books, some
slushy novels, from which she transposes in reality her dreams of love
at first sight and prince charming.
Avid
reader of the novels written by Megan Richardson, Emily gets to be her
assistant when this latter moves temporarily ino Santa Barbara. Her
mission is to type the manuscripts of the writer. It is through
her that she meets Greg Hughes, her son. She
immediately falls in love with this boy so orderly and polite that she
is wise and discreet. If she fears at first that Greg is interested in
more daring girls, Emily manages to get closer to Greg when he seeks
comfort after learning he is the son of wealthy C.C. Capwell. Emily
believes living the legends of her books by being regularly invited to
parties given by the Capwells, at their home or at the Country-club. Emily
is still a great comfort when Greg loses his mother at summer of 1989,
and supports him when he gradually takes the place he deserves in the
Capwell family. Ready for everything for
him, she even accepts to give up a job as a model to respect his choices.
She finally realizes her dream by marrying late in the year the one she
sees, naively, only like her prince charming. Her
two sisters having already left town long ago, Emily will leave with
Greg for new skies at the beginning of the year 1990...
