Surviving Goodbye
by Morgan Parker

In the final hours of her life, Elliot Fitch’s wife confesses that he is not the biological father to their 16-year old daughter. Surviving Goodbye follows Elliot’s collision course with Fate as he embarks on a journey to locate his daughter’s real father. When Elena, now seventeen years old, announces her unplanned pregnancy and the father’s unwillingness to play a role in their child’s upbringing, Elliot faces an ironic dilemma about the true meaning of parenthood and the roles we play in the lives of others, particularly those we love and who love us in return.
