Jess named her episode when she reached out to me in an email - that was the subject line. The Overnight Parent.
And its true. After Jess found out her mother had suicided she is left to raise her two step siblings. At 23, grieving her mother, Jess was living in another city, in a share house and decides she must take on an overwhelming responsibility and become a parent. How does she do it? And who does she become in the process?
