About the Project
TALITHA FORD OF KENTUCKY is based on the true-life story of my great-great grandmother, who moved from Kentucky to Missouri as part of the Platte Purchase in the 1850s. It’s a coming-of-age story which includes moving West by covered wagon, the hardships of the trail, family dynamics and falling in love with someone her parents disapproved of, all against the background of the Civil War. We see her mature from a frivolous teen into a woman who understands the evils of slavery, and learns that wealth and social status are not as important as character and humility.
