The Beginning And High Water

Phillipa Soo was an 18 year old high school student on her way to Juilliard when she got pregnant with her daughter, Nastasia Rae(Nuh-sta-see-uh). She still went to school, but she also had to provide for her daughter. Now five years later, she graduated and lives in a tiny apartment not that far away from her old school. During the day she works at a diner or is at auditions but, at night she is a mom. When Nastasia was born Pippa vowed that she would go through hell and high waters to peruse her dreams and take care of her daughter.
