Mary Steenburgen stars in this the true story of the novelist Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, who in 1928 retreated to an isolated Florida plantation in order to write. Leaving behind her comfortable New York city life and her marriage - she faced the backwoods alone. Her experiences in the swampy scrub country and the lives of her rustic neighbours became the subjects of her books and stories (most memorably in The Yearling, for which she won the Pullitzer Prize), and in the land and the people she found inspiration, meaning - and love.
