E-L-E-E-M-O-S-Y-N-A-R-Y. Charitable. It's the word that wins Echo the National Spelling Bee — and her favorite word, because charity is what these three generations of women so desperately need. Grandmother Dorothea, a willful eccentric who made her daughter Artie wear homemade wings, believing she could fly. Artie, who fled her mother's suffocating dreams and abandoned her own daughter. And Echo, the brilliant teenager caught between them. Blessing's luminous play about connection, forgiveness, and the terrifying courage it takes to become a family.
