By now, not even a year after escaping prison, Tanya was a working mom in the suburbs, except the guy she's hitched her wagon to isn't exactly who she thought he was.

Phil was part of the picture now, whether by love or necessity.

At first, he seemed like a decent guy with potential, but potential didn't pay bills or raise children.

Tanya was trying to lay low, but her husband kept landing himself in jail, kept getting on the radar of the very people Tanya wanted to avoid.

It didn't take long to realize he was already failing at fatherhood elsewhere.

Yet he was the one helping keep a roof over their heads.

And it was about to become even harder not to have to rely on him.

Although we were using precautions, I got pregnant again.

Another child meant more to protect, while the man beside her seemed determined to avoid adulthood at all costs.

Tanya Redfield, The Riot Act.

It seemed likely that she could end up a single mother.

So Tanya started to get ready to run.

Again.

And if she was going to be hauling two kids around, she needed to be able to drive.

A simple task for most people.
