Lisa Davenport has been brought up in a home filled with love and understanding. The fact that
she is an adopted child has never bothered Lisa...until now. A crisis in her life makes it
imperative that she find who her real parents are. Her foster mother is dying. Lisa, 16, terrified
of being left alone, searches frantically for her natural mother; she has definite clues. But
what if her real mother rejects her again?
Expertly crafted. Junior high to adult audiences will cherish the suspense, the tenderness,
and the message. O. B. Rozell's ability to capture and delineate the emotions of people in dire
distress makes this play as poignantly effective as his highly successful
The Freeway and Of Winners, Losers, and Games. No one
can see this play without gaining a little better understanding of what makes happy family life.
This play and Rozell's Sharing are excellent companion pieces
for a night of plays. And for comic relief, the author's Nathan the Nervous
may be added.
One act; Set, dining rooms of the Davenport and Weldon families; Time, today.
