Southern Comforts
by Kathleen ClarkSouthern Comforts
by Kathleen ClarkA late-in-life love story about a caustic old widower warmed back to life by a merry widow with a honeyed accent.
Their funny, awkward, and enchanting romance is filled with sweet surprises and unpredictable tribulation. Told with warmth and perceptive humor, this Off-Broadway success is an affecting journey of compromise and rejuvenation, of personal risk and the rewards of change.
