Liz Bitz

In a succession of vividly recalled episodes, struggling single mom Liz Bitz contemplates her life circumstances as the child of a mother who can't seem to stay married and a father who is imprisoned for murder. She traces a life that replicates the chaos of her youth with rocky adult relationships that ultimately force her to break the powerful spell of family. Pursuing her dream of a different kind of life, she is helped in unexpected ways by a kind young cop, the therapist he refers her to, and her unlikely best friend, Tibby.
