The play ‘A Mother in Mannville’ is a heart-touching short story written by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, exploring love, sacrifice, and the importance of human connections. The story revolves around Jerry, a young orphan boy, and a writer. Jerry is a skilled and hardworking boy who lives in an orphanage. In addition, the writer visits the guest house of the orphanage for a few days to write her biography. As the story progresses we see these two characters come closer.
