Overview

Life in the middle of a big city can be scary. Lily, a young professional living alone in Houston during the mid-1980s, experiences a frightening brush with a near home-invasion. The unsettling episode is the impetus to seek out a home security system: a dog. Fear pushes Lily to purchase her new companion without thinking through the details and she finds the new addition to her life just as unsettling. Financial struggles, professional challenges, romantic wounds and the trials of being twenty-something all share the tiny apartment with Lily and her new puppy, Keisha. The carefree, adventure-seeking whims of Keisha are at odds with the order-loving, financially challenged Lily. And yet the irascible dog may be just what the doctor ordered. Once Keisha trots across the threshold, where weeks before the faceless intruder had sought to gain entry, Lily's life opens up in new, at times exasperating, ways and the adventures begin. Join this pair on their journeys: external and internal, humorous and touching. Laugh with Keisha's flagrant disregard for the law and social convention. Cry with Lily's struggles. Dip into another level of love and connection. Thirteenth century mystic Rumi once wrote: ""There is a voice that doesn't use words: listen."" Keisha may have a message for us all!
