Cross Creek (1983)

Poster for Cross Creek

The portrait of a woman who, at the edge of survival, found a world of meaning.

In the 1930s, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings moves to Florida's backwaters to write in peace. She feels bothered by affectionate men, editors and confused neighbors, but soon she connects and writes The Yearling, a classic of American literature.
