THE LIVES OF A DOCTOR, HIS WIFE, AND HIS PATIENT COLLIDE, LAYING BARE THE POLITICAL AND PERSONAL NARRATIVES THEY HAVE CAREFULLY CONSTRUCTED FOR THEMSELVES.

A doctor recruits volunteers for the trial of a new recreational drug that exclusively affects women. Among them is “number 4,” who becomes emotionally involved with first the scientist, then his wife, a well-known visual artist in the midst of a creative crisis. The scientist is oblivious to the atrocities his new drug will bring to the city; his wife is oblivious to the superfluousness of the objects she has committed her life to exhibiting in galleries and museums. Number 4’s presence pierces the couple’s complacency, gradually undoing the many certainties they’ve accumulated in their lives of ease.

Parents, students, teachers, and staff have been making tough decisions about returning to school this fall. Nothing Bundt Cakes hopes to make the transition a little sweeter with a day of giving back.

Treat a teacher, a kiddo, a friend, or yourself to a bundt cake (or cupcake!) ranging from bite-sized to tiered. Visit https://www.nothingbundtcakes.com/bakery/nc/asheville to check out the menu or pre-order online.

20% of the day’s sales will be donated to Buncombe Partnership for Children. Whether you call in curbside, pick up a pre-order, or step inside the bakery at a safe social distance, you will be helping early childhood educators, young children, and their parents & caretakers navigate this challenging time.

For more information about the programs that BPFC offers our community, including resources for parents and caregivers grappling with the effects of COVID-19, visit www.buncombepfc.org.

We are so excited to be joining our collective powers for good to bless the community.

The Beer City Sisters will join the BeLoved Asheville team to bless you with joy as you share help with the community.

Drive through and give the Sisters donations of diapers (sizes 4-6, 2T & 3T are most needed), cleaning supplies (especially bleach, bleach spray, laundry detergent, and dish soap), and toiletries (especially shampoo, deodorant, and toothpaste). BeLoved Asheville will share these directly with people most impacted by the COVID-19 crisis in our mountain home. The location is the Land of the Sky UCC.

Put a little love in your heart as you drive through and enjoy the magic of a Sister blessing!
