Basically A Rewrite of "The Glass Menagerie" (Spoilers Possible)


Wouldn't you say so?

You have the strong Southern belle mother trying to handle her lot in life, a crippled sister (only this time, emotionally and very suicidal) and the brother who distances himself from them yet has emotional scars of his own.

Throw in a female psychiatrist and add a bit of comedy plus a love story, and there you are.

What once were vices are now habits. 

Sort of but if generalized all stories to that degree there would be less than 100 stories in the history of writing.
