The Journey Of Natty Gann




Set in 1935, the movie tells the story of a young woman, Natty Gann (played by Meredith Salenger ). Out of work because of Depression -era Unemployment , Natty's father travels from Chicago to the state of Washington to find work in the Timber industry, leaving tomboyish Natty behind. Having no mother, Natty is left in the care of Connie ( Lainie Kazan ), the insensitive woman who manages Natty's apartment building. After overhearing Connie reporting her as an abandoned child, Natty runs away to find her father on her own, embarking on a cross-country journey. Along the way she is befriended by a Wolf who travels with her for much of her voyage, has a brief, innocent romance with another young traveler ( John Cusack ), and encounters various obstacles that test her courage, perseverance, and ingenuity.
