About this book

A Fourth of July backyard barbecue is the setting for this exploration of the question of whether to have children. Melinda and Jasper, the hosts, are deeply divided by the issue; Tom and Karen, their landlords, decided long ago to remain childless; Windsong and Dan are expecting a baby. As the play progresses, the motivations of these characters reveal themselves as ever more complex.
