Description: Battle Hymn is a contemporary story that begins in the past. Martha’s mother died giving birth to her in 1845, and now, as the story begins, Martha finds herself pregnant and ostracized at the age of sixteen. Rather than despairing, Martha sets off on an incredible journey through America, determined to find her boyfriend who has joined the Union Army so he can “do the right thing” by her. As Martha travels through and fights in the Civil War, she settles on one incontrovertible fact: She will not raise her baby in a blood-soaked, violent country. And so, Martha keeps traveling in search of a better world and a safe place to bring forth her child… this is easier said than done.
Battle Hymn is the story of a uniquely American Mother Courage: her epic pregnancy, her past, her future, and her incredible search for motherhood, meaning, and love.
Seeking:
MARTHA: Late teens to mid twenties. Strong willed and determined, committed to being the mother she never had and to bringing her baby into the world in a safe place.
