Good People

Good People by David Lindsay-Abaire is a Literature & Poetry Paperback Book.

A funny and tender drama that explores the struggles, shifting loyalties and unshakeable hopes that come with having next to nothing in America. In South Boston you're starting on the wrong side of the tracks - it's tough just making ends meet. So when sharp-tongued single mother Margie loses yet another job, she'll do anything it takes to pay the bills. Hearing that an old boyfriend who has made good is back in town, Margot hopes he may be the ticket to turning her life around.
