She''s finally seeing the fruits of her labors.
Chef Ellie "Lemon" Manelli''s hip East Village bistro is suddenly all the rage; Lemon and her staff of wildly talented friends plucked from New York City''s finest eateries can barely keep pace. Good thing she has her loyal, doting, bankrolling Georgia peach of a boyfriend, Eddie, to lean on -- not to mention a gaggle of loving relations over the river in Brooklyn. In fact, Lemon''s life is turning out exactly as she planned -- except for the fact that she''s late. As in late. Nobody said anything about, you know, labor.
Having a baby right now would jeopardize everything Lemon has worked so hard to accomplish, so the pregnancy test results leave her feeling a little sour. Eddie, bless his heart, wants to just go ahead and get married, but Lemon''s not sure the timing''s right. She''s about to learn a lesson or two about love and loss, though. And in the end she''ll discover that there''s a reason things work out the way they do -- and that when life gives you lemons, you can make lemonade, or lemon tarts, or lemon meringue pie. Or, you can just be a plain ole Lemon, if that''s what you were meant to be.
