Synopsis

Martha is a young farm girl. She is one of six girls who finds farming hard work and unfulfilling. She leaves the farm to find love. She finds love twice and looses it fast. Martha also finds tragedy, pain and sorrow. Her life revolves around laughing and weeping. Her religious conflicts confuse her. Her dreams of love are elusive, like Blowin' in the Wind. Her new husband dies in a horrible explosion. It was 1888. Babies were sold to buy food. Women worked as maids at the young age of 16. Men ruled the homes and women lived to please the men. Martha wanted it different. Martha dreamed of roses and velvet. She dreamed of a fantastic love, of being someone special and having someone special. She left the farm for an adventure and adventure picked her up but set her down hard.
