This play by the author of Pride's Crossing, among others, follows the Blossom family as they travel cross country to see Aunt Olivia, who has cancer. She is a renowned environmental artist who creates enormous sculptures out of kites. The family camps along the way, having various adventures and meeting relatives and strangers. When they arrive in Taos, New Mexico, Olivia is fading in and out of reality, or is she?

"A comedy with serious undertones ... that takes the audience by surprise time after time.... What pervades the show is Miss Howe's originality and purity of dramatic imagination." - The New Yorker
