Erica, a successful, artistic and outspoken New Yorker, is caught between the needs of Biesel, her frail, willful mother and Phoebe, her distant, spiritual daughter

In an attempt to improve her relationship to Phoebe, Erica decides to put her mother in a nursing home as she has come to believe Biesel is responsible for Phoebe's growing belief that her mind is unimportant as it prevents her from having a direct experience of God

A battle of wills ensues that brings all three women face to face with their own anger and the ways in which they do and don't love each other. The play takes place in New York City and has one set consisting of 2 rooms . . . a living room and a sewing room
