Elizabeth McCoy has not had the best life. From the time she was born, her entire life has been a disaster, her father abandoning her at birth and at thirteen she had to help ween her alcoholic mother off her addiction. Finally, two years later, Liz's mom is alcohol free and Liz is starting high school, a normal fifteen year old girl.
With math tutoring bringing her closer to her crush, Riley Dwire everything seemed to finally be falling into place. That is until one day her dad, Ron, shows up unannounced, forcing his way back into Elizabeth's life. Now, Liz finds herself in a mess of homework, court dates and learning the truth about who her father really is.
