    About this ebook

    One starry night the body of young man, still strapped into his airplane seat, falls from the sky into the yard of Harold and Elsie's chicken farm. As the night unfolds, their mysterious guest effects a profound transformation in his hosts. Falling: A Wake is a haunting and surprisingly funny play about love, loss, and the redemptive power of letting go.
