Wild Mustard paints a picture of rural Appalachian life during the Depression. It brings back memories of a harsh time when luxuries were few but love and laughter abounded. Of course, not every memory is perfect, as sometimes there was a quiet loneliness that reached to the innermost parts of the soul. Wild Mustard salutes the Appalachian women who demonstrated great strength of character by cooking their daily meals on wood stoves, washing clothes on washboards, sitting up with the sick, and going to church on Sunday to praise God with song and to give thanks for what they had.
