Edward Warren, twenty-four, has been living in Thailand for five years, a prodigal son who left his family after an irreparable fight with his father, Luke. But he gets a frantic phone call: His dad lies comatose, gravely injured in the same accident that has also injured his younger sister Cara. With her father’s chances for recovery dwindling, Cara wants to wait for a miracle. But Edward wants to terminate life support and donate his father’s organs. Is he motivated by altruism, or revenge? And to what lengths will his sister go to stop him from making an irrevocable decision?   To reserve a seat please call 802-649-1114 or email info@norwichbookstore.com for more information.    Please note that this second floor hall is accessed by a stairway with a landing, there is no elevator.   Driving directions: road signs are pretty clear, old pre-flood signs do not have distances, new orange signs point to the village, and Simon Pearce signs echo the directions From Route 4 EAST Turn right onto Quechee Main Street at the Fat Hat Clothing Company Head west on the Quechee Main Street toward Windham Hill Continue for 1.8 miles Simon Pearce will be on your left just after you enter the village From Route 4 WEST Follow new signs to Quechee village, but if the roads are slippery, do NOT turn left onto Deweys Mills Road, but rather continue to the corner at the Fat Hat Clothing Company  Take a left onto Quechee Main Street at the Fat Hat Clothing Company Head west on the Quechee Main Street toward Windham Hill Continue for 1.8 miles Simon Pearce will be on your left just after you enter the village Click here for a map with directions.
