About this listen

TV writer Gigi Rios New bases her newest pilot, Mercy, on a real-life woman, Joan (Sophie in the pilot), who spent everything she had to keep her sick husband alive.

Upon his death, having lost almost everything, her mother-in-law demands she return the “heirloom” engagement ring. Her friends expect her to rejoin society in a manner they find acceptable, and are angered by the sarcastic and irreverent manner in which Sophie tries to navigate widowhood.

Read with actress Jean Louisa Kelly.
