My Darlin' Quarantine: Intimate Connections Created in Chaos is a collection of short comedies that describe the humorous ways in which five small groups of average people deal with an absurd situation: quarantine with strangers. Shocked at first, characters react with creativity to forced quarantines in a dental office, a beauty salon, a car dealership, a dive bar, and a law firm. The constriction of place, the anonymity that strangers offer, and the challenge of invention, provide an invitation for imaginations to soar amidst unlikely bonds. Great loves, friendships, and triumphs come out of facing the near impossible --the challenge of living creatively for 42 days, in a strange place. My Darlin' Quarantine takes the reader on a journey into the surreal world of our present crisis set in the future in the unlikeliest of places, where creativity is channeled into personal growth through the companionship of earnest, annoying, funny, all-too-human strangers.
