7m, 3w, + Extras Mountains In My Stride is an indelibly American folk play, woven of mythic material, of people caught in the timeless trials of becoming their truest selves - whether in 1830 Missouri or now - facing head-on the need for courage, insight and inspiration to conquer their challenges. Jason Hunt, a veteran frontiersman, slated for Congress, finds his true destiny blocked by his love for Ruth, a young, wavering Bostonian, who demands security outside herself; while Hannah, her cousin must shatter the bonds of tradition if she is to find her real self - and true love. Blunder, raised by .the Pawnee and now snared by the mercenary Sary, startles to find himself through his own native-wrought Vision, which untangles all their lives. Beautifully written, Mountains In My Stride is charged with true, dimensional characters, resonant themes, and a victorious spirit as one by one they take - or miss - the mountains in their lives."
