About This Book

A two-act domestic drama set a few days before Christmas centers on a prosperous alcohol manufacturer whose household readies festive comforts while the wife struggles with unease over the ethics of their business. Encounters with a drunken rural man who begs for help and the proprietor's stern refusals expose social inequality and the human cost of the trade. The son's interactions with student friends and household preparations contrast material comfort with moral tension, examining profit, responsibility, and compassion in a small urban community.
