Synopsis: The non-linear journey of a woman who is wrestling with her sexuality, her work, a new awareness of other women, and her relationship with her husband. Moving laterally in time, her quest is often interrupted by someone or some event that she is not ready to deal with: i.e., during a college scene, her husband shows up in her dorm room. Ronnie, the central character, sometimes speaks to the audience as if she were footnoting. During her college years, Ronnie has an intimate and confusing relationship with another young woman, Coop. In their adult life, they consummate this sexually, although it opens a new set of choices.

On another part of the stage are the Rabbis and members of Nelson Silverstein's congregation. Nelson, who was more or less banished from his home, now calls himself a rabbi/spiritual leader.

He does. Only to upset once again the balance of Ethel's home.
