The play visits a Native woman at four stages in her life from childhood to motherhood. The central issue it deals with is growing up in the residential schools of the 50's and 60's, separated from family and culture. The play shows the effects this and other racial discrimination has had on her journey through life, touching on sexual abuse, alcoholism, and family violence. The play is both funny and frightening, ending on a very positive and hopeful note for the future.
