The problem is not just writer's block. Elizabeth's husband died. And now she cannot even write a word. Her son Grady also is suffering. He no longer dates. Grady and Lila somehow team up to talk Elizabeth into trying the ghostwriter arrangement.
It works out well. Lila does the writing. Elizabeth gives guidance. Grady falls for Lila. Then he decides to back off, nominally because they need that book done. He then not only becomes Lila's agent, but also her lover.
