This is the written script, not a novel.
A poignant play about the evolving friendship between Daisy Werthan, an elderly Jewish woman, and Hoke Colburn, her Black chauffeur, in mid-20th-century Atlanta. Exploring themes of race, ageing, and dignity, it reveals how mutual respect bridges social divides.
