Oh, and an added thing - a truly joyous life includes a generous heart. Meet Miriam Elizabeth Swanson, in a full-blown snit, buoyed by a fabulous cast who run the gamut from insufferable to wonderful. First is the introduction of Liz Harper, Miriam's tenant from Birmingham, who places a new routine in motion. Then her other tenant, Kevin, a stalwart partner with an increase of style than Cary Offer, shakes Miriam out of her fog to see which battles are worth the battle. Next, her estranged son announces he's marrying a Jamaican girl. And what about her ex-husband, Charles, and that sordid lingerie style of his? Well, Harry, her African grey parrot, has a lot of viewpoints. Finally, you'll laugh and weep when she fulfills a man called Harrison who changes her into a gal called Mellie. Miriam spins right out of the revolving door of her postured life as a Manhattan quasi-socialite while she thirsts - no, starves for recognition. How have she become what she hates the most, and what does she endure to understand it? And where are the answers? It takes a few spins and dips and one impressive street to redemption for Miriam to get her head on straight. Then, in a whoosh, she's off to the enchanted and secret land of Sullivans Island, profound in the Lowcountry of SC. Told straight from the center in Frank's vivid, highly interesting style, The Land of Mango Sunsets just might be her finest work at this point.
