Here she is indeed - Betty Donaldson, thirty years old, mother of four-year-old Molly, and about to sign the divorce papers that will end her eight-year marriage and make her a free woman once again. Welcome to Betty's new life. It's bewildering - funny - joyous - heartbreaking - and it always manages to knock her right off her feet. During the course of her first year as a single mother, we follow Betty as she careens from hilarious adventure, one crisis at work, and one romantic disaster to the next. There's the affair with the married man There's Mitch, the ex-husband, who's thriving far too well, and his new girlfriend, the gorgeous blonde bimbo. There's Peter, the evil boss who grows a beard so that his resemblance to Simon Legree will be complete. And there's Molly, more savvy and sophisticated at four than Betty will ever be. Plus, we have the Cruise from Hell, the great Ballooning Adventure, Cancer of the Month, Sick Sperm, and the Class Reunion. And through it all, there's the poignant memory of Buddy, Betty's High School Sweetheart - the one that got away. Raising My Titanic is about beating the odds and growing up and facing loss and still managing to stumble through. Even though there may be holes in your black fishnet stockings.
