Christine Longoria is a Texas-based actor who also enjoys writing. A former social worker, she retired and focused on a career in television and film. She particularly enjoys working on student films whenever possible, to help emerging film-makers and encourage new voices, particularly those from South Texas.
This script describes painful, potentially triggering events related to miscarriage and the mishandling of a baby's body. As unimaginable as the events seem, they happened to me and my husband over 20 years ago.
