A powerful and provocative, yet wholesome story of the fight to survive and start a new life. The Rose family pushes themselves into totally new surroundings. This, at a time when even day to day life is a struggle, in ways, we today, do not fully comprehend. A catastrophic event forces the young Rose family to reevaluate what is important and what is next. Their decision; a 700 mile move from Kentucky to inhospitable Northern Wisconsin. The year 1908. No plane to catch, no pick-up truck to haul their rental trailer. Rather, an old, wood-fired locomotive. Always uncomfortable, sometimes riding in a crude passenger car, sometimes in an empty boxcar, sometimes alone, standing on the tracks in the middle of the great northern Wisconsin wilderness. Witness an epic journey of love, danger and family unity.
