I Am An Island
May lives on a tiny island surrounded by friends, family, and the occasional martini-swilling ghost. The only problem? May's island is sinking, and she can't get anyone to pay attention.
As May stages a very personal protest to bring attention to this looming disaster, we begin to see her struggles are not just external. What's really sinking here? And can May do what needs to be done before it's too late?
From the author of 2024’s smash hit WIth Love and a Major Organ.
