Hauntingly Gritty

Life on the frontier wasn't easy, and was often the end of people, physically or mentally. Enter our heroine, Mary, who signs on to take some needy folks to get help back where there was assumed to be some. The trouble was, she needed help of her own to get where she was going. The "Homesman" was that help. Nothing is simple, though, and this saga of fortitude, emotion, and their melancholy trek tells the tale. Left me feeling like I'd had a really good dirt bath.
