Medea’s Ghost

Convicted of the most unforgivable of crimes, Mary is haunted by the media circus surrounding her case and, surreally, by three ghosts of Greek tragedy. A Mexican immigrant named Teresa finds herself inexorably drawn to Mary by fate and circumstance, and visits her in prison. Their emotional journey toward personal redemption lays bare the darkest territories of the human soul, where only grace dares give its light. [See excerpt.]
