"I think of my body sometimes like it's stubborn. We're not good friends. Like it's a spooky hotel, and I'm just a ghost haunting it. 'Cause you don't live in a hotel, you just pass through." Two sisters, one child, and a garden full of flowers. A heartrending new play about sisterhood and motherhood; enduring love and regrets many years in the making. When Daphne is diagnosed with Premature Ovarian Insufficiency at 19, her sister Christine steps in to help in the only way she knows how: by donating her eggs. For a moment, the world seems corrected. But as the years go by and Daphne sets out on the long road of IVF, the sisters' relationship begins to twist.
