Play Details
Overview
Christine, a wife and mother in her thirties, visits her pastor, Linda, to turn down an invitation to work in the children’s department. Not intending to dive so deep into her problems, Christine shares about her struggles with her marriage, faith, and mental health, stemming from an incestual past involving her father.
Christine confronts Linda with the question of how to grasp the concept of a heavenly father, having an abusive father as a real-life model. Linda, with a fiery personality unlike the archetype of a woman in ministry, challenges Christine to get her power and change her narrative.
This play is also available in the play collection ” Legacy of a Father”
