Every chapter of Becoming Liz has a sound.
🎶 Her façade: “Control”— Janet Jackson
🎶 Her unraveling: “Fast Car”— Tracy Chapman
🎶 Her healing: “Sweet Love”— Anita Baker
When the life she built shatters, her true story begins.

Collage titled “Becoming Liz Arc Playlist.” Three Polaroid-style images show Janet Jackson labeled “Her façade,” Tracy Chapman labeled “Her unraveling,” and Anita Baker labeled “Her healing.” Background has retro ’80s colors and confetti, with the line “When the life she built shatters, her true story begins.”

Becoming Liz as a meme:

Liz in Chapter One: “I’ve got everything handled.”

Narrator: She did not, in fact, have everything handled.

Cartoon of a dog calmly sitting at a table while flames surround the room. The dog smiles and says “This is fine.” The image humorously represents Elizabeth Rutland in Chapter One of Becoming Liz—polished, poised, and completely in denial as her carefully planned life catches fire.

Elizabeth Rutland looks like she has it all—power suit, planner, big dreams, and shoulder pads to match. What you don’t see: the nightmares she runs from, the secrets she buries, and the heart she’s not sure she can trust. #DVparty #WF #A #MH

Becoming Liz blends the emotional honesty of Eleanor Oliphant with the simmering romantic undercurrents of Seven Days in June. Set in 1980s St. Louis, it’s a story of ambition, sisterhood, and the brave, often messy path to healing when you’ve spent your life outrunning your past. #ABCpit #CRPBees

Hi, I'm Kitt. I live in Ohio EST, and I'm a nurse. My setting is St. Louis, Missouri, so I included the Arch.
