That Old Feeling

Strait-laced graduate student Molly de Mora is marrying Keith Marks, son of a conservative U.S. Senator with his own political aspirations. The young couple has a dignified ceremony and reception at the Marks' stately country home because Molly cannot trust either of her parents to host her wedding... not without serious bloodshed. Molly's mother is the famous and flamboyant actress Lilly Leonard, and her father is successful writer and novelist Dan de Mora. They are talented, creative, and interesting people--and they hate each other's guts. Over a decade earlier, their marriage ended in a volatile divorce. Dan found himself married to Rowena, the mercenary redhead with whom Lilly caught him in an affair; Lilly married Alan, the "sensitive" marriage counselor who was hired to help Dan and Lilly save their troubled marriage. When these factions meet for Molly's wedding, she fully expects fireworks and drama. But Molly does not expect her parents to disappear, together, leaving their respective spouses in turmoil. Molly is forced to turn to her mother's most persistent paparazzo, Joey Donna, to find her parents and possibly avoid scandal. Joey is a stringer (journalist) and his passions are photography and the career of Lilly Leonard. If anyone can find Lilly, it is Joey Donna. With Keith watching the discarded spouses, Molly must help Joey locate her parents and talk sense into them. Molly and Keith should be enjoying their honeymoon in Hawaii--not parenting overgrown adolescents. But Molly discovers that she is much more like her parents than she had ever thought.
