Plot

A LIGHT IN THE WILDERNESS tells the stories of three spirited women who will discover what it means to be truly free in a land that makes promises it cannot fulfill. Letitia is a freed slave who is learning to trust the Irish immigrant cattleman who wants her to come west with him. Nancy Hawkins loves her husband enough to follow him anywhere, no matter the cost. Betsy, a Kalapuya Indian, is the last remnant of her tribe, trying to impart the wisdom and ways of her people to her grandson.
