Meet Carey and Simon, an otherwise perfect married couple with a bit of a swearing problem. They're determined to kick the habit by the time their baby is born. Too bad that's not their only problem. Simon has a secret. And Carey has a new friend - a musician named Owen that she met at a bookstore. With quirky characters, music, and gentle humor, this lovely and intricately constructed story is about meeting challenges head-on and finding hope.

Intricate, delicate construction... Hewlett spins an emotionally epic story about a woman caught between two men, as well as her own inability to cope with life's gains and losses. - Matthew Murray, Talkin' Broadway. A pleasure to see... Hewlett's writing has a gentle wittiness. With an exquisitely light touch, Hewlett creates snapshots of the happy lives of Carey and her husband, Simon, moving seamlessly between present day and three years before. - Backstage. Some of the play's best moments are the songs Ms. Hewlett sings, describing the depths of Carey's devotion to Simon. - The New York Times.
