This was a well-told true story of a woman and her abusive relationship with her unstable husband. Living in the eary 1900's back in the deep forested area of Middle Fork, there were not many choices for a woman caught in a terrifying situation. I deeply felt the agony for the main characture as she is forced into being a murder accompliss, and then exillerated as she stumbles into a life-changing experience. (
