Impatience of the Heart
Out of shame, pity and a longing for purpose, a young soldier feigns feelings for a disabled woman, even fueling her hope of walking again. But her growing distrust and his obsession with curing her create a frenetic spiral that drags everyone into misfortune.

Their friends are horrified, and regret is setting in. They start plotting their revenge— and before they know it, they’re staging an off-Broadway play…
