"A tale of one young woman's courage...hopeful, personal and true"---Los Angeles Times

This is the performance, produced by Hershey Felder, that debuted at the Geffen Playhouse and has since toured across the county and in London. "It's an uplifting story of extraordinary love and endurance told through timeless music that is haunting and joyful, sobering and spellbinding." -- The Londonist
  • Finally a lunch with Mona at a time and place to be agreed upon by the purchaser and Mona.
