A sidesplitting look at a family learning to love again. On a winter night in a drafty farmhouse a baby is about to arrive. But modern medicine meets midwifery head on in a torrent of family feuding. As tensions rise between three dysfunctional generations, so does the laughter. It takes a baby to to heal the rift in this funny, heartwarming story of forgiveness and hope. Playwright David S. Craig shows us how the human heart sometimes takes the longest way home.
