Description
Thirty-eight-year-old Charlie Lewis is on the verge of marriage, but the past won't leave him alone, specifically one summer when he was sixteen. Charlie was the invisible boy, failing school and caring for his depressed father, dreading the future. Then Fran Fisher arrived, and for the first time, Charlie dared to hope.
To win Fran, Charlie must face a challenge that could alienate his friends: join the Company. The price of hope is Shakespeare, learning and performing Romeo and Juliet with a summer theater troupe. Poignant, funny, and devastating, Sweet Sorrow explores the confusion of family life and the rocky path to adulthood. It's a tragicomedy celebrating friendship and the brief, searing explosion of first love. Can Charlie reconcile his past self with the man he's about to become before he walks down the aisle?
