Overview

Rebecca Moffatt finds on her family's farm a wounded Yankee officer and nurses him back to health - not too remarkable, except that her husband is a Confederate officer away at war! Little does she know that her actions set in motion a series of events that will see her making a journey of over 250 miles from Obion County, Tennessee to St. Louis, Missouri. She travels mostly on foot with an older couple who had been former slaves on the farm, an old horse, and a two-wheeled dogcart. Her mission is to get her wounded husband out of prison camp there and bring him home. But at what cost? Rebecca's story unfolds through letters she has written to her husband while he is away fighting, letters she wrote but never sent. Her story came to light when her letters were found in a secret compartment next to the fireplace in the front room of the Moffatt house years later.
