"For The Freedom," "Between Life and Death," and "Trail of Tears" form a contemporary Western trilogy, each centered on a strong female protagonist. While the stories feature distinct characters and narratives, they are unified by their shared setting in the same evocative town.

In each installment, a compelling MacGuffin emerges in the third act, revealing a poignant and sorrowful secret. These screenplays trade the mystery of "whodunits" for the deeper, emotional question of "WHOAREYOUs," unraveling raw, heart-wrenching truths about identity, resilience, and the human spirit.
