0 Male 4 Female
Much of the action of this four-character play takes place in the home of Eleanor Kaiser, a sixty-three-year-old widow who has just opened her home to her daughter, Carol, and her teenage granddaughter, Mindy, following a devastating fire in Carol and Mindy's house across town
It becomes clear early in the play that Mindy, who is emotionally disturbed, was responsible for the fire and that it may have been a suicide attempt
Into the lives of these three women walks Kenetta Tate, a free spirit who, like Eleanor and Carol, is struggling to jump-start a life that has ground to a halt
Focusing on Mindy, Kenetta sets off on a mission to prove to her roommate and new friend that the pleasures life has to offer can conquer the painwhen one knows how to fully embrace them
