Overview
"THE FOND HEARTS is inspired by the true story of Roxana Druse, an abused farmer's wife in upstate New York, who killed her husband in 1884 with the help of her nephew, Frank Gates, and her daughter, Mary Druse. As Roxana tries her best to provide for the family alone and protect the children from the repercussions of the murder, Frank struggles with his feelings for Roxana and his frustration with her efforts, ultimately turning himself and the family in." -- Abstract
