    This play has such a surprising and impactful turn at the end; I will surely be wondering about it long after I read it. Maripat Allen was successful at creating compelling characters and conflict in a short space. I'm particular interested in the similarities between the two mothers who are both doing what they think is best to protect their children- yet have made dramatically different decisions. Such a powerful and chilling ending, and a sad but necessary discussion about mental illness and those who love folks affected by it.
