A riveting drama for mature audiences, this explosive play set in Memphis, Tennessee in 1968 delves into the issue of illegal abortions.

Many realities, some of them contradictory, are presented.

The drama was first produced as part of the Women's Project Theatre, mentored by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Wendy Wasserstein.

"A small gem of a play... honest and moving... Ms. Wimberly's warm-hearted and absorbing drama stands tall."
— Curtain Up

"A sympathetic portrait of a distinctive woman struggling to reconcile her ideas of right and wrong with those of society and the church."
— Variety
