Room 219 offers the chance to eavesdrop on nine different sets of people who confront life situations-issues like alcoholism, stress at work, sexuality, drug abuse, life-threatening illness, depression, peer pressure and family responsibilities while in a neutral setting. When you open the door to Room 219 you'll witness for yourself these real-life struggles . . . and perhaps you'll also encounter some situations that seem more than a little familiar. This novella depicts nine sets of persons who occupy the same motel room at different times over a ten-month span, from 1999 to 2000. Put yourself in the place of these characters and imagine how you would react to the challenges they face.
