Ragged Road
RAGGED ROAD is the story of Rose Caswell and Rafe Whitfield, teens living in Kinston, North Carolina. An unexpected pregnancy occurs, and plans to marry are thwarted by the Caswell patriarch, Hamilton John Caswell. The ensuing tragedy and loss recall the kind that happened regularly before societal changes of the 1970s.
Broken hearts and broken families litter the ragged road traveled by the young couple, who find that love is complicated under any circumstance, but even more complicated when family dysfunction, mental health issues, and societal expectations come into play.
Set in the late 1960s, RAGGED ROAD explores what sometimes happened to young women in maternity homes, the marginalization of young men who wanted to be a father, and the unintended consequences of decisions made in haste.
