synopsis: </span></b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>In
TELLING LIVES, an elderly mother asks her grown daughter to edit her newly
written autobiography. The daughter responds by attempting to edit her mother's
life. The granddaughter, a playwright, has her own take on the family history,
something she's already shared on stage. Over the course of a weekend, the
three women discover the truth about memory: not only is it imperfect, it hangs
on by a thread.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

editor at a weekly newspaper; divorced single mother; hard-working, loyal. Can
spot a misplaced comma from a mile away. Wears sensible clothing.<br>
<i>Ruth Garver, 80.</i> Geri's widowed mother, a career homemaker who married
too young. Survived life's challenges by playing games and
keeping secrets. Wears whatever it takes to keep up the facade.<br>
<i>Rachel Klein, 24.</i> Geri's daughter, a playwright with one
production under her belt. Her clothes suggest youthful rebellion.
Her seeming certainty belies her self-doubt. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
