It is called Whiskey Chitto Woman
It is a Western road trip drama.
In the vein of Nomadland
It is like Little Women meets Cold Mountain
It follows determined pioneer woman Ellen Johnson
And naïve teenage boy Sammy Jones
As they take a hazardous journey through the outlaw-infested, devastated countryside of post-Civil War Louisiana to retrieve her husband Aaron whose leg has been amputated.
Problems arise when they encounter highwaymen and Ellen wonders how Aaron will adjust as a disabled man in an agrarian society.
Together their determined pioneer spirit and love will overcome the obstacles in their way and finish their journey strong.
The idea came to me when I was doing genealogy research while reading Whiskey Chitto Woman I found out that Aaron and Ellen Johnson were my great-great-great uncle and aunt.
