These arias are sung by the character Alyce, who is represented in the production by two singers, a younger and older version of herself. Young Alyce sings "My Darling Jim," writing a letter to her husband prior to his being taken prisoner during the Vietnam War. The first aria captures emotions through a brief snapshot of everyday life. The second takes place after his return from captivity. Alyce has moved on with her life with another man. The aria is painful and moving as she suggests that, while he can see "the kids," he certainly doesn't have to see her face ever again.
