Character Bio

Lauren Graham loves exploring the challenges Sarah faces--and the disruption she brings to her extended family. Watch now >

Sarah is the second oldest Braverman and though she always knew she'd never be "the successful one," at 38 she at least thought she'd have more to her name than a deadbeat rocker ex-husband and a car she not-so-affectionately refers to as "The Crapmobile." Sarah is intensely devoted to her two teenage children, Amber and Drew, who are defiant and withdrawn respectively, and seemingly hell bent on not reaching their full potential and making the same mistakes their mother did. So Sarah loads up the Crapmobile and heads to the only place left to turn... home. Moving back in with Mom and Dad means letting her pride take a hit, but Sarah hopes it'll be worth it to give her kids a new start. And though her pride keeps her from admitting it aloud, she dreams of finding a new start for herself too.
