Synopsis

This soul-stirring journey of renewal begins on a Maine summer night in 1955.

Amy and her brother Stan, who uses a wheelchair, rent their cottage to a new tenant named Gwen.

Gwen is venturing into a new life following the death of her mother, whom she nursed.

Lonely and seeking more, Amy places a “Wanted to Correspond” ad on a whim, but her notions of romance backfire when only Stan responds.

Things begin to get out of hand, but ultimately longing, love and loyalty conspire to open new doors for all in this seamless blend of well-developed characters and memorable songs by Grammy-winning pop artist Melissa Manchester.

Press Reviews

"An inspiring fable… [with] a richly romantic score."
— New York Times

"Possesses a charm and literacy and attention to character all too rare in modern musicals… Manchester’s aching melodies, tinged with autumnal fire, are matched by rich, poetic lyrics."
— Chicago Sun Times
