Waiting Room

Four characters mysteriously end up in a "waiting room" with a phone at the center. An older woman is waiting for her sister to call. They had a falling out twelve years ago and haven't spoken since. A younger woman is waiting to figure out what to do with the rest of her life-and she wants someone to guarantee her future before she takes a step to go to college. Another man has been laid off because of explosive anger, but wants the company to call him up and ask him back to work. Finally, a man is waiting to be sure before he takes the step into marriage-he needs to know he won't ever get divorced. That man, the newest arrival to the waiting room, asks how often the phone rings, so he can get an idea of when he'll get his answer. But none of the people there have ever heard it ring.Willow Creek Association is the author of 'Waiting Room', published 1996 under ISBN 9780310675631 and ISBN 0310675634.
