James, a recovering alcoholic seeks redemption from his family when his wife is diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of uterine cancer. John, a thirty-something single dad searches for a legacy for his only son while Hiro, a single NYC transplant struggles to let go of the demons she inherited. Sophie, a born again Christian, confronts her faith as she comes to terms with the inevitable death of her parents, her own shortcomings and some broken dreams. This is a play about five Godless and God-loving people in Lexington, Kentucky who face mortality in very different ways.

    Humor and heartache abounds in this touching family drama. A true gem - the kind of play I want to hide away in my pocket and return to on the bad days.

    A truthful and heartwrenching story about what loss and grief really look like. There won't be a dry eye in the house when this play ends.

    This is a beautifully written wonderfully rich play! I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. The characters are human and flawed, and yet there is real active searching not only for redemption but also forgiveness - not often seen, and not easy to do, and Leah Nanako Winkler gets it done!
