This is an incredible story. Actually, two stories. One is the story of this petite woman who - after the Civil War - goes in search of her husband's body so she can bring him home for a proper burial. The other story is about Kevin Thornton and his dedication to the story; one thoroughly researched. I am so looking forward to seeing this film. Thought you might, too. Sunday, May 22nd
