In the North Carolina summer of 1967, tragedy strikes their family, so Willa Jo and Little Sister are sent to stay with their Aunt Patty and Uncle Hob while their mother tries to come to terms with their family’s loss. Aunt Patty has more of a way with her garden gnomes than little girls. Always concerned with the order and the rightness of a thing, she has a million rules about everything. This especially doesn’t sit well with Little Sister, who hasn’t said a word since her baby sister died, and plain refuses to let go of the drawing she carries with her everywhere. Luckily, Uncle Hob has a sweet, understanding way about him, and the neighbor kids, Lizzie and Isaac Fingers, are as nice as can be. Adapted from a Newbery Honor book, this poignant play traces a family’s journey of acceptance and understanding in the face of loss.
