Follow the real-life journey of Minnie Leigh Robertson as she is forced to take a path that turns her world upside down. In the East Tennessee Mountains, 1926 at the age of thirteen, living a very simple, content life, Minnie never dreamed of living anywhere but on her mountain. Her days were filled with digging ginseng, gathering wild herbs, tending a small number of livestock her father kept - 2 cows for milking, a couple of goats for cheese, and there were always chickens for eggs. Raised by her father, a bitter Veteran of the Great War, Minnie is forced onto a path that she feels she never will escape. Eventually, Minnie chooses her own path and discovers it leads to much more than she was first traded for.
