Fifty-one-year-old Julia Goldman thought she had experienced it all. Although she had been widowed for two years, she was left financially well-fixed with two grown children who were busy with their successful careers. Life was routine and uneventful for Julia in her Hollywood home. She thought she would just ease into the rest of her days without anything notable looming on the horizon. Suddenly, "Life with a Capital L" hands her what is to become the biggest decision of her life; the sort of occurrence to which many a younger woman would hardly be equal. An accidental encounter in the cocktail lounge of a posh hotel with a man who sweeps her off her feet and then disappears, leaves her with much more than just a fond memory. She is no longer able to conceal her predicament. The sibling rivalry of her children, plus her own with her flamboyant sister, Verna, add to the complexity and to the resolution of her plight.

Characters:

Julia Goldman (F), age 51, attractive widow

Fay Goldman (F), late 20’s, Julia’s daughter, soon to be wed

Curtis Goldman (M), early 30’s, Julia’s hypochondriac son

Verna Fields (F), late 50’s – 60’s, Julia’s much married older sister, thin and elegant
