A Diamond in the Holler is a powerful and poignant story of resilience and rebirth. Set in the rugged hills of rural West Virginia, the film follows Violet Magnolia Fawley, a middle-aged woman trapped in the shadows of an abusive marriage. Despite her quiet strength and fleeting moments of hope—like winning small sums from scratch-off tickets—Violet's life is dominated by fear and violence at the hands of her husband, Dwayne.

Her only light comes in the form of Pops, the compassionate owner of the local convenience store, who extends kindness and a chance for escape. With his help, Violet breaks free and begins a new chapter in a Charleston women’s shelter. Slowly, she rebuilds her life, discovering friendship, independence, and a renewed sense of self-worth.

But her past is not so easily forgotten. When Dwayne, terminally ill and seeking redemption, tracks her down, Violet faces a choice: cling to the chains of her past or step forward into the future she fought so hard to reclaim.

A Diamond in the Holler is an emotional journey of survival, courage, and hope—an intimate portrait of one woman’s fight to reclaim her dignity and rewrite her story. Beautifully acted and visually evocative, the film shines a light on the strength it takes to rise above oppression and the power of choosing oneself.
