Captive
Author(s):
Jan Buttram
A hilarious take on a father/daughter relationship, this off-beat comedy combines foreign intrigue with down-home philosophy. Sally Pound flees a bad marriage in New York and arrives at her parent's home in Texas hoping to borrow money from her brother to pay a debt to gangsters incurred by her husband. Her elderly parents are supposed to be vacationing in Israel, but she is greeted with a shotgun aimed by her irascible father who has been left home because of a minor car accident and is not at all happy to see her. When a news report indicates that Sally's mother may have been taken captive in the Middle East, Sally's hard-nosed brother insists that she keep father home until they receive definite word-- and only then will he loan Sally the money. Sally fails to keep her father in the dark and he plans a rescue while she finds she is increasingly unable to skirt the painful truths of her life. The ornery father and his loveable but slightly disfunctional daughter come to a meeting of hearts and minds-- and solve both their problems.
