Ep: 1856 Liz Lazarus - Dawn Before Darkness

Dawn Smith, a veterinarian tech living in rural South Carolina, catches her new, hot boyfriend in a series of lies and abruptly ends their relationship. He is not happy. He begins to stalk and harass her, forcing Dawn to seek a restraining order. Undeterred, he launches a deeply personal attack —inventing a false scenario to sue for guardianship and conservatorship of Dawn's infirm mother. And just when Dawn thinks things can't get any worse, she is faced with an impossible choice: rekindle the relationship or lose her mother forever. Liz Lazarus' riveting thriller is based on her own harrowing experience battling for the guardianship of her 88-year-old mother. Liz has an engineering degree from The Georgia Institute of Technology and an MBA from Northwestern's Kellogg Graduate School of Management.
