Lizabeth Stuart was born in Drucilla, Kentucky. She was raised by her grandparents, Hester Rose and Walter Lee. She has never known her mother, Rebecca, who was seventeen when Lizzie was born and left Drucilla a few days later. The identity of Lizzie's father was a secret that Hester Rose took with her to her grave.
Lizzie calls him "Quinn," so let's stick with that. Quinn was an Army brat. His father was career military, an officer. His mother was not the kind of woman who was well-suited to that life. They divorced when Quinn was a child. His mother later remarried. Quinn lived with his father, and eventually attended West Point. He served in the military police, and then later was a detective on the Philadelphia police force.
