Synopsis

Stand at the Cross Roads unfolds in suburban Houston; a small, rural Texas town; and a remote, rugged wilderness. A twisting, turning gripping true-life adventure that will take you along on the trip of a lifetime! In 1996, Hilda Baker travelled into some of the last remaining wilderness in Texas. For years, as her life increasingly spun out of control, she was plagued by a series of painful divorces, financial setbacks, and the struggles of single motherhood. Now, she tells the true story of her quest to turn her life around and find true meaning in her work and personal life. One sultry morning, at a retreat in south Texas, Hilda sensed a voice whose message catapulted her from cosmopolitan Houston to Chriesman, Texas-population seventy. She finally knew what she was supposed to do, but had no idea how she would do it. The task-to carve a sanctuary out of a dense forest-was daunting, but she was determined to succeed. Finally she had found purpose in her life. Hitching up a U-Haul trailer crammed with her worldly belongings, with her sixteen-year-old daughter, Nina, in tow, she set out for her new life.
