“Enthralling, utterly gripping, remarkable” – Los Angeles Times
Margie has spent her whole life in South Boston and most of it down
on her luck, but she’s never had it this bad. A middle-aged single
mother with a disabled adult daughter at home, she is unemployed, facing
eviction and cut off from opportunity in her insular working-class
neighborhood. Or is she?
When Margie discovers that a brief high school flame is now a
successful doctor, she swallows her pride and seeks his help, sparking
questions about class, commitment and what it means to be a “good
person.”
