Concerning My Daughter
DETAILED SUMMARY / BACK COVER
When an aging mother allows her adult daughter, Green, to move back into her apartment, she envisions a traditional future: a steady income, a good husband, and a family. However, Green arrives with her girlfriend, Lane, challenging her mother's preconceived notions of family and acceptance. Simultaneously, the mother, a caregiver in a nursing home, confronts a parallel ethical dilemma: whether a patient's non-traditional life choices should dictate the standard of care.
