ABOUT THE HELPER

At the height of World War II, with food scarce and the coldest of winters looming, the residents of Riverside, Alabama, turn to 23-year-old Annie and her Aunt Rosie for provisions. Their family gardens have long been a source of nourishment and healing for the community. Annie’s desire to help her people is further fueled by her visits with patients at the local infirmary in which she volunteers. When she bonds with a recently admitted soldier, Annie becomes more determined than ever. Despite Aunt Rosie’s warnings, she dares to help him with the resources of her garden, careful to evade the watchful eye of her cold and callous supervisor, Nurse Mae.
