Thank You, Amelia Earhart

"We spend our lives telling people who we are. When we're gone, we're who we really were."

Health issues are finally forcing Myrtle out of her house. In her nineties, she's foul-mouthed and bigoted to everyone, including Season, her latest fresh-out-of-school caregiver. The truths the two women learn from each other leave both forever changed.
