34 year-old Joanne Witt was a gifted engineer working for El Dorado County, CA when she became pregnant with a man she was casually dating. She dumped the man but kept the baby, a beautiful daughter who she named Tylar. Raising Tylar as a single mother, it was clear to all that Joanne’s world revolved around her daughter. The two were inseparable and from the outside they seemed like a real life Gilmore Girls. But by 2009, Tylar was 14 years-old and had hit full rebellious teen mode. Soon, Joanne would learn just how far Tylar would go to have her own way.
