A courageous tale set against the fierce backdrop of the American Civil War, True Women tells the remarkable true story of a dedicated family ravaged by war and turmoil and their survival against the odds.

Their dramatic escape and day-to-day ordeals along the dusty and deadly landscape has become the stuff of American legend.
