hospital and returned to her beloved homestead cottage to die alone. The volunteer hospice worker who appears with the pain medication Grace willfully left behind is
a Harvard MBA recently transplanted to this rural backwater from New York. Glorie is tense, unhappy and guilt-ridden~ her only child having been killed in an auto accident when she was driving. As she attempts to care for and comfort the
cantankerous rustic, this sophisticated urbanite gains new perspectives on values and life's highs and lows. "A sentimental odd-couple crowd pleaser.. [with] a steady
drip of easy laughs."-N. Y Times. "A lot of good humor . . . artfully designed to confirm hopes. . . . Offers the opportunity for good, honest, grandstanding act
ing."-N.Y. Post. "A slick entertainment. "-N.Y. Daily News.
