Only Child

Elise is at her college friend Andy's home while Andy's mom is preparing supper. While they make small talk, Mom looks at a package which has arrived in the mail-and is shocked. It's addressed to her deceased son, Jason, who was killed by a drunk driver four years earlier. Andy finally enters, and Mom leaves upset. Andy must finish telling the story about how a crazy kid in a stolen car killed Jason, and didn't even have to go to prison. Instead, the family adopted him. Elise suddenly understands-Andy is the one who hit and killed Jason four years ago, and who was brought into the family and raised as their own.Topics: GRACE, OUTRAGEOUS FORGIVENESS, THE DOCTRINE OF ADOPTIONCharacters: 1 MALE, 2 FEMALESParticipants: 3Author: Donna Lagerquist
