RICHES

By: Wendy Froberg

 

SYNOPSIS: Family bonds offer us support, nurturance, belonging and a sense of identity. As we grow, we move from being cared for by our parents to caring for them. But what if they were never there for us? If we were abandoned, neglected or abused by our parents, are we obligated to support them if they fall on hard times? Riches explores themes of loss, disappointment, forgiveness and what we value in our lives.
