The Little Family Plays
For Little Family, the dining room is the way station as they go about their busy lives. Over the course of this trilogy, they grapple with death, birth, and marriage and the surprising turns their lives take, while eating something vaguely ethnic.
Little Faith is set on Easter Sunday, hours after the Little family matriarch, Elaine, has died. As the family reconvenes, they attempt to sort through Elaine's last wishes and navigate some unexpected revelations.
Precious Little is set on July 4, with the arrival of Jane and Fiona's twins, which they had thanks to a surrogate. As they talk through their next steps as parents, the entire family weighs in.
Too Little is set on Christmas Eve, when Stew Little introduces his children to his new girlfriend -- fiance -- a year and a half after his wife has died.
