The Best We Could (a family tragedy)

In this funny, wise, and heartbreaking debut from Emily Feldman, a daughter's road trip with her father becomes a theatrical journey across more than just state lines. Though 36-year old Ella has nearly given up on life, she agrees to accompany her father Lou on a long-distance trip to adopt a rescue dog. Guided by a narrator called Maps and interspersed with memories and phone calls from Ella's mother, Peg, their journey reveals hard truths as their pasts slowly rise to the surface.
