This compelling one-woman drama depicts the lives of four women against the dramatic backdrop of colonial America in the days before and during the American Revolution. A gentry woman must come to terms with the death of her child as Virginians approach the brink of revolution; a determined rural midwife celebrates life despite the increasing hardships of war; an enslaved woman reflects on family and loss; and a first-time mother faces the fear and isolation of giving birth alone on Virginia's western frontier. Period songs performed by Jane Hanson.
