Ghosts of Wimberley Movie

“Ghosts of Wimberley” is a drama set in post-World War II Texas. It is the story of a 10-year-old girl’s fight to survive Polio against all odds. Her father is a wounded war veteran with total amnesia confined to a hospital in London England. He is unaware that he has a daughter in Texas living with her grandparents. His wife died in childbirth, however her daughter survived and now his deceased wife is a ghost who sets out to bring her daughter’s father back to Texas to his daughters side, in the belief that his return will save his daughter. There is a huge catch even after his memory returns. He cannot enter the hospital for many psychological reasons. This drama is based on the author David A. Cox’s partially true story of surviving polio as a child, before there was a known cure. The author has fictionalized parts of the story with a ghost to have a vehicle that weaves the four true stories together. He has used a young girl rather than a boy because the relationship between a father and daughter is a stronger bond. This is a feel good film that follows the formula of good story telling much like the films that graced the silver screen in the 40’s and 50’s
