Synopsis

There’s a big problem in a small town when a 15-year-old grocery delivery boy reports back to the local Baptist preacher what he saw at the living quarters of two life-long friends and recent widows. As a consequence, all hell is about to break loose—from the pulpit Sunday morning—if the women cannot stand up before God and man and publicly “explain themselves.” Grace is a poet and English teacher; even at 53, she is tech savvy, passionate about life and love, and perhaps she does indeed harbor a secret. The bawdy Meg is a rancher’s widow; she rides, ropes and handles a Winchester as well as any man in town. Together, they are a force to be reckoned with, but then so are the Church and town fathers. The town and the widows are in for a shock, but not the one either expected in this two act comedy of moral rights and legal wrongs. Or is it moral wrongs and legal rights?

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

David W. Christner was born in Sweetwater, Tennessee and raised in rural Oklahoma. He attended high school in Mountain View, a small farming community situated between the Washita River and the Wichita Mountains in the southwestern part of the state. As a Commissioned Officer in the U.S. Navy, Christner served three years at sea fighting the Vietnam War and two years ashore in Norfolk, VA. After completing his graduate education at the University of Oklahoma, Christner settled in southern Rhode Island and for more than two decades worked as a technical writer, editor and multimedia training developer for a variety of defense contractors and hi-tech multinational corporations during the day and wrote plays and novels at night. His stage plays The Wall, Bui-Doi: The Dust of Life, The Walk, Red Hot Mamas, The Babe, The Bard and the Baron, The Bitch of Bailey’s Beach, Ezra and Evil, What About Mimi?, and This Blood's For You have been finalists or winners in national/international playwriting competitions. Speculations on the cosmos, sex, war, religion, injustice, environmental exploitation, aging, women’s issues, the homeless, the colonial slave trade and capital punishment have formed the thematic content of the plays and novels he has written so far. His plays have been produced in the U.S., Australia, Japan, Belgium, India, Ghana, Singapore and Canada. An Italian translation of Red Hot Mamas by Leonardo Franchini opened in Trento, Italy in 2016. Victor Weber’s Russian translation premiered in Tula, Russia in May 2016. Christner is theater critic for the Newport Mercury in Newport, RI. Amazing Grace is one of his 20 full-length plays.
