Windows Home

by Bill Foster

Overview

Carl and Chrissie are living the American Dream in Westerville, Ohio in the early 1960's. Their love grows over drive-in movie dates, shopping for vinyl records and the picture-perfect wedding if Chrissie's dreams. However, in the spring of 1965 their picturesque lives are torn apart as Carl is drafted and sent to Da Nang Air Base in Southern Vietnam; it's here where the letters begin. From a promise, they made before he left, the two lovers write letters to one another with the light of the same moon. The same moon that brings comfort and a sense of togetherness when Carl is taken prisoner by the North Vietnamese Army. At this point, the letters stop and nothing remains but the space between; it's here with the moon looking on, that Chrissie and Carl continue to "speak" with one another. Will they be strong enough to make it through this war? Will Carl make it out alive? Will they ever be reunited? Windows Home presents simultaneous action of POWs and those they leave behind, examines the stress of maintaining a relationship against all odds, and reveals that true love is bigger than any war, all under a blanket of stars and the watchful eye of the full moon.
