Yes And Presents: Cry It Out by Molly Smith Metzler
Four months ago, Jessie was a corporate lawyer with a glamorous Manhattan life. Today, she’s in dirty yoga pants and covered in breast milk, trying to comfort a screaming newborn. So when she spies a fellow new mom and neighbor at the local Stop & Shop, she vaults over the cantaloupe to introduce herself. One coffee quickly becomes a daily coffee, as Jessie and Lina laugh through the highs and lows of motherhood. But their intimacy is punctured when a stranger who lives in the mansion up on the cliff appears in the yard asking if they would include his wife, a new mom who is having “a hard time.” A comedy with dark edges, Cry It Out takes an honest look at the absurdities of being home with a baby, the power of female friendship, the dilemma of going back to work, and the effect class has on parenthood in America. Starring Lindsey Zelli, Emily Berry, Axle Burtness, and Sara Dabney Tisdale.
