ISBN: 9780822205678.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull Length Drama \/ The setting is the small town of Independence Iowa, the lifelong home of Evelyn Briggs. Her oldest daughter Kess, is a university professor in Minneapolis, but she has come home at the request of her sister Jo, who is concerned for Evelyns mental health. Kess, a professed lesbian, wants to cut her family ties once and for all Jo, an incurable romantic and longtime virgin, has now become pregnant; while Sherry, salty tongued and amoral, wants only to finish high school so she can leave home for good. In the end, there is no accommodation possible but, instead, only a kind of arbitrary independence for each of the protagonists, as they come to realize that each must find her own heaven or hell in her own way.
