Elisabeth Wolf is a bit Lulu. She lives in Los Angeles, where she grows fruits, vegetables, and native flowers. She bakes her children's birthday cakes and eats spicy Mexican food. Each year for summer vacation, she makes her husband, children, and dog move to Maine, where they explore coves, gaze at tall trees, and hunt for sand dollars. Most of all, they laugh with friends and spend time as a family. But make NO mistake: she loves slipping into town for some fun shopping and a good pedicure.
