Unable to fend for herself,\u00a0Teenie spent 18 years in bed being nursed, fed, bathed and loved by her\u00a0caretaker, Marion. Teenie&#8217;s death sets in motion events that begin to shatter the\u00a0lives around her &#8212; the parents, who have been absent most of her life, the\u00a0caretaker, and the lives of other children. Even those who look to make some\u00a0pay for a crime committed long ago are involved. A touching and powerful play\u00a0about guilt, remorse, redemption and forgiveness.
