A gripping tale set in a small Iowa town. While three daughters strive to find their own independence, they come to discover that family ties are deeper than they realized. Blessing's critically acclaimed script addresses the complexity of female relationships, and in particular, the unique connection between mothers and daughters.

"Blessing has a hair-trigger sensitivity to what families are saying and doing now, this minute…" — Dallas Times Herald

"Mr. Blessing writes admirably well timed and weighted dialogue, and the play takes the cleverly invented charactes through to a chilling end." — Plays and Players (England)

"…a delicate balance of comic and tragic elements." — Louisville News American
