Lillian Boedecker Barron is eighty-four years old, vibrant, funny, wise, and recently deceased!

During her lifetime Lillian shared a special, long-distance bond with her granddaughter Kelly and suffered an estrangement from her son Windsor, a Colonel in the Air Force, as he moved his family from base to base all over the world. After her death, Lillian discovers that she cannot "move on" until the rifts are somehow mended.

Windsor and Kelly come from overseas to settle Lillian's affairs and are aghast to discover that the walls of her house have been painted with wild, sometimes humorous, sometimes horrific murals and drawings. Piecing together moments of time and fragments of feeling, Windosr and Kelly make astonishing discoveries about themselves and each other, as they unravel secrets of the paintings.

They also uncover a special relationship between Lillian and a young neighborhood child, a life-affirming friendship that transcends the boundaries of time, space and generations.

This powerful, poignant play explores the wonder of words and the transformative power of art as it offers humor and hope to anyone who is, or has ever been, a grandparent, parent, or a child
