Mourning Dove

"Inspired by a true story, Mourning Dove explores the unspeakable dilemma faced by Doug Ramsay, the father of a severely disabled girl. A life of pain is the only life 12-year-old Tina Ramsay has ever known, and Doug is not convinced her next operation will make a difference. His wife, Sandra, believes it's their only choice. Keith, a family friend with challenges of his own, is committed to making Tina laugh again. When Doug takes matters into his own hands, no one is prepared for the fallout: relationships are ruptured, assumptions are turned inside out. When does a private act become a public concern? Do a parent's responsibilities and a child's needs always intersect? Could taking a child's life in the name of love ever be justified? Controversial and challenging, Mourning Dove is a reminder of the power of theatre to transform age-old questions into art."--BOOK JACKET.
