Liz grew up in a house that looked picture perfect. A Mother, Father and younger sister. Looks are deceiving. Sir, her father, is an alcoholic and drug abuser. When he's sober, he's the greatest guy to be around. When drunk, he's someone to avoid. Liz learned at a young age it was better to be seen and not heard. When Sir got drunk, Liz stayed in her room and struggled to be quiet so she didn't draw attention to herself. She began using her imagination at a young age to self soothe. Liz had a full family, who were loving and supporting in her imaginary world. As she got older, her imaginary world changed. Gone were the fantastical beasts from her childhood, sand replaced with her imaginary perfect family, perfect boyfriend, perfect everything. When things got tough, Liz escaped reality. Now, as an adult, wife and mother, when tragedy strikes she finally needs to learn to live fully in the real world. Can she give up her perfect world?
