    “ This is such a sweet short play. A mother breaks the news to her autistic son that his dad is moving out, and Pamela Morgan manages to make you sympathize with each of them individually as well as collectively, as a family unit. So well done! ”

    “ A play that touches on some tough subjects, and draws on the conflict that results. You really feel for both the son and the mother as they both process the recent events in their own way. The frustration and love comes across simultaneously. A real feat of playwriting. ”

    “ Mothers everywhere will recognize the dilemma: how to hold together your child’s breaking heart when your own is shattered, too? I love these characters, and I felt for them both. A beautiful ten-minute piece: tart, sweet, powerful—just like lemonade. ”

    “ Morgan's play shows a scenario that women with special needs children know all about. A father leaves his wife and ASD son, and the woman is left to explain. It is beautifully written, sympathetic, authentic, and heartbreaking -- with a dash of hope. I loved listening to a reading of this play at the Indiana Playwrights Circle. It is brilliant! ”

    “ A beautiful, beautiful play. Heart-wrenching. Both mother and son are lovingly and truthfully drawn. This would be a perfect addition to festivals about motherhood or festivals celebrating and exploring characters on the spectrum. Well done. ”

    “ Oh, my heart. In this play, a mother and son try to navigate a father’s decision to leave. Pamela Morgan’s dialogue is authentic and layered. We can’t help feeling for these characters. Well done. ”
