Ryan, a factory worker in the throes of financial instability, seeks help from Keith, a mortgage broker, to secure a loan. The two bond over their love of their daugh-ters, as well as \"a specific kind of sadness\" that lives in the gap between their dreams and realities. Affecting in its seeming simplicity, Hunter's play ultimately affirms, if not the existence of God, then at least the possibility that something sacred can come from the connection between two people.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSAMUEL D.
