Legend has it that Moll Dyer was accused of witchcraft and burned out of her house on a cold winter night by an angry mob. A young boy found her alone in the woods a few days later, frozen to death and kneeling on a stone. Her ghost is said to be a malevolent spirit that walks the land to this day and causes misfortune for anyone who happens upon her. What if the story behind the legend is wrong? Jonathan's Tears offers another possibility for how the legend came to be. It is the touching story of a mother's sacrifice and a young man's struggle to save her from an unspeakable tragedy.
