The true-life, timeless story of newspaper editor Ken Fortenberry and his family who made news around the world and were featured in the New York Times and on the CBS News program “60 Minutes.”
This engrossing and dramatic narrative inspires hope even as his family endures countless attacks as his newspaper tackles corruption in a small South Carolina town. The Fortenberrys paid a high price for their pursuit of the truth – from stolen newspapers to repeated death threats and finally bombs in the backyard.
Ultimately, the small-town crooks were brought to justice, and the Fortenberry family was strengthened and renewed in the face of adversity.
