Synopsis / Notes

Caroline, Or Change takes place in Louisiana inn 1963, just before President Kennedy's assassination and during the Civil Rights movement. Caroline is the black maid of a Southern Jewish family, made up of a father, his new wife and the man's young son. The son's birth mother has recently died, and the stepmother is trying to establish a relationship with the child, who already has a close connection with Caroline.

The title has a double meaning, referring to the myriad social changes swirling around the family and a family argument surrounding the spare change perpetually found in the boy's pants pockets.
