Lydia DeLucca is a New Jersey bartender who wants more out of her life than just marriage and kids, so she breaks off her engagement and enrolls in college. This doesn't make her ex-boyfriend Lou happy; he thinks she is wasting her time getting an education. Her family isn't supportive either. Her mother Dolly thinks marriage would be better since she thinks Lydia can't take care of herself. Her dad Frank cares more about the New York Giants than Lydia's psych term paper. But that's life.—Pat McCurry <[email protected]>
