When a friend from the old neighborhood, who is now very successful, moves back to town, Margaret hopes he may be the ticket to turning her life around. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Lindsay-Abaire\u003c\/b\u003e is the Pulitzer-winning author of \u003ci\u003eRabbit Hole\u003c\/i\u003e, which was made into a feature film.
