A Room of My Own"Daughter of a prominent physician, Virginia Eide's wealthy, idyllic life is forever altered when the Great Depression sweeps across the country. As she works alongside her father, giving medical aid and other assistance to the people of "Soo City", a makeshift camp along the nearby railroad tracks, Virginia witnesses these down-and-out people rise above their circumstances while displaying an uncommon spirit of generosity and love. Virginia, in reaching out to them, develops a strength of character and compassion that will change the direction of her future while bringing a gift of hope to her family." |
