The play was written and is acted by Marcia Thomas and is based on the memoirs of early Texas pioneer Harriet Potter Ames, once the wife of Robert Potter, signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence as well as first secretary of the Texas navy in the 1830s. It describes Harriet's traumatic life with Potter and other husbands as she struggles to survive the elements and raise her children along the shores of Caddo Lake. The story has previously been told in a historical novel published in the 1950s.
